Chicago, Illinois, United States Jump Trading Full time

We are seeking exceptional analytical minds to join our team at Jump Trading Group, a world-class research organization committed to pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and applying cutting-edge research to global financial markets.

As a Quantitative Researcher, you will be part of a dynamic group of traders, researchers, and engineers who work together to examine the global markets, seeking to understand the complexities of various traded products and exchanges.

You will leverage your impeccable statistical analysis and data mining skills to build predictive models, develop algorithms, and make forecasts to drive superior risk-adjusted returns.

Our culture is unique, with a focus on fearlessness, creativity, intellectual honesty, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incenting collaboration and mutual respect.

At Jump, research outcomes drive more than just superior risk-adjusted returns. We design, develop, and deploy technologies that change our world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems.

We are looking for individuals with an uncommon drive to learn and improve, an entrepreneurial spirit, and strong skills in programming and/or quantitative analysis. No prior knowledge of finance or trading is necessary, as we will provide the training you need.

Recent hires include students from fields such as Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Operations Research, Neuroscience, Materials Science, and more. We encourage international students to apply, and we sponsor work visas for full-time positions.

As a Quantitative Researcher at Jump, you will have the opportunity to contribute in a blend of three roles - quant researcher / data scientist, trader, and software developer - based on your incoming skills and background, interest and curiosity, and the new skills and industry knowledge that you will learn at Jump.

You will start by completing a training program focused on enhancing your knowledge of trading, programming, and quant research. The training consists of in-house courses and trading simulation developed and delivered by experienced quant researchers, traders, and developers.

We have experts from around the firm who will teach you advanced skills in a variety of areas such as trading / market mechanics, statistics, python, R, C++, machine learning, and our research process.

You will be mentored in successfully applying those skills to build predictive models, leveraging one of the largest supercomputers in the world, and devising automated trading strategies to test in the markets against world-class competition.

Other duties as assigned or needed.

We offer a range of benefits, including private medical, vision, and dental insurance, travel medical insurance, a group pension scheme, group life assurance and income protection schemes, paid parental leave, parking, and cycle schemes.
