Job Description

My client, a leading global hedge fund is expanding its footprint in Asia and is seeking talented Quantitative Researchers to join its growing teams in Singapore and Hong Kong. This is a high-impact role offering substantial autonomy, end-to-end ownership of strategies, and the opportunity to contribute directly to the build-out of the firm's regional presence.

You will work within a collaborative, research-driven environment to develop, test, and refine systematic trading strategies across multiple asset classes. The ideal candidate brings a strong quantitative background and experience in systematic trading strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct full-cycle research on alpha signals, from hypothesis generation to production deployment.
  • Develop and refine features, predictive models, and trade signals for midlow-frequency systematic strategies.
  • Analyze large, diverse datasets across global markets to extract actionable insights.
  • Collaborate with portfolio managers, data engineers, and technologists to enhance research workflows and improve data quality.
  • Continuously monitor, evaluate, and iterate on live strategies and research pipelines.
  • Work across a multi-asset universe, including cash equities, options, futures, FX, and/or commodities.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 36 years of experience as a quant researcher or strategist in a trading or financial environment. Buyside experience is preferred.
  • Strong expertise in feature engineering and signal/alpha generation.
  • Hands-on experience with systematic strategies, ideally in mid- to low-frequency horizons.
  • Proficiency in Python or a similar research-oriented programming language; familiarity with statistical modeling and machine learning methods.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of research agendas and drive projects with minimal oversight.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment within a global organization.
  • Experience with multi-asset data and markets (equities, derivatives, macro) is highly advantageous.

What the Firm Offers:

  • Significant autonomy and ownership over strategies from day one.
  • A high-performing, research-focused culture with global resources and world-class infrastructure.
  • The opportunity to shape and influence the firm's expanding presence in Asia.
  • Competitive compensation aligned with performance and impact.
