Member of Research Staff, Reinforcement Learning, Voleon Securities

Voleon Securities is looking to add an experienced and creative reinforcement learning researcher to our growing ML research group. We welcome researchers with both strong theoretical foundations and experience developing and scaling RL in industrial settings. Financial applications of RL are challenging and demand new methods that go beyond the academic state-of-the-art; it is critical candidates have a deep understanding of the field to draw inspiration for new methodology.

This is a chance to join the initial buildout of a fully modern securities business rooted in the frontier of AI/ML and statistics. Your colleagues will include internationally recognized experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning research as well as highly experienced finance and technology professionals.

As a Member of Research Staff, you will work at the forefront of modern statistical machine learning. Your research colleagues across Voleon have collectively published hundreds of academic articles in top-tier venues on machine learning, systems, and theory, and we meet regularly to stay current on the latest academic research and share ideas. Founded in 2007 by two leading scientists, Voleon supports a culture of curiosity, collegiality, and creativity.
