Full Job Description
We are seeking a Machine Learning Analyst to join the growing data analytics and machine learning team. The team's primary mission is to develop machine learning systems to answer open-ended investment questions and support portfolio management decisions. The team works across the project lifecycle and technical stack, from ideation, understanding and analyzing data, hypothesis generation and testing, and model development all the way through to the deployment and maintenance of models and systems in production. Our work spans statistical modeling, classical machine learning, and modern AI and LLM techniques. The Machine Learning Analyst's primary responsibility will be to contribute to these efforts alongside other team members. Over time, you will develop the technical and domain expertise needed to take increasing ownership of individual components and ultimately end-to-end projects. The work is highly collaborative and spans quantitative research, software engineering, and machine learning. Analysts work with other members of the machine learning team and portfolio managers to translate loosely defined investment ideas into practical tools and models. Successful candidates will have solid programming foundations, be comfortable translating between qualitative and quantitative descriptions of problems and be excited to build data analysis and machine learning systems against the backdrop of portfolio management. Since the team works closely with trading floor personnel to assist with portfolio management decision-making, an interest in economic and financial markets is essential, but no specific prior experience is necessary. This role is open to candidates available to begin in the near term, as well as students expecting to complete their undergraduate degree between Fall 2026 and Summer 2027.
