Senior Member of Research Staff, Technical Lead (London)

As a Senior Member of Research Staff and a Technical Lead, you will work at the forefront of modern statistical machine learning applied to financial market prediction and portfolio optimization. You will carry out own independent research as well as guide your team through the entire research cycle: from research idea generation, exploratory work, scoping of projects, through implementation and iteration, to rigorous evaluation of research outcomes and eventual productization.

Your colleagues will include internationally recognized experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as experienced finance and technology professionals. This role can be very high leverage for the right candidate.

Founded by two leading scientists, Voleon supports a culture of curiosity, collegiality, and creativity. We do not silo our teams, and you will enjoy a healthy work-life balance while tackling hard problems with the rest of us. The behavior of financial markets is noisy and violates a number of classical statistical assumptions, and we’ve spent over a decade pioneering scientific advances in this domain. Despite the complexity, successful outcomes are immediate and unambiguous.
