Senior Quantitative Researcher – Intraday Equities Alpha
Metabit Technology LLC is seeking an exceptional Senior Quantitative Researcher to lead our intraday equities alpha team. This role focuses on discovering and modeling short-horizon statistical signals across large equity universes, leveraging high-frequency market data and cross-sectional relationships. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in signal research and a deep understanding of market microstructure.
Key responsibilities include developing and testing short-term alpha signals using high-frequency data across global equity markets. The role involves analyzing inter-symbol dynamics, liquidity patterns, and cross-sectional dependencies to identify transient inefficiencies and arbitrage opportunities. Additionally, the researcher will conduct rigorous backtesting and performance attribution across large baskets of equities in a fully systematic environment, collaborating with engineering and trading teams to deploy and monitor strategies in live production.
Candidates should possess over five years of experience in alpha research or quantitative signal development, ideally in intraday or short-horizon equity strategies. A deep understanding of market microstructure, order flow dynamics, and execution-related features affecting signal quality is essential. Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++, along with fluency in working with large-scale high-frequency datasets, are required. Experience in cross-sectional modeling and statistical arbitrage frameworks across equities, as well as an advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a quantitative field such as mathematics, physics, statistics, or computer science, are also necessary.
The position offers a competitive base salary ranging from $125,000 to $500,000 per year, commensurate with the candidate's relevant experience, skillset, education, and other qualifications. Metabit Technology LLC provides a dynamic and collaborative work environment, emphasizing continuous learning and professional growth.
