They leverage their impeccable statistical analysis and data mining skills, using the results of their research to make forecasts and develop profitable predictive trading models.

About the Role:

We build predictive models from massive datasets and develop algorithms to automatically execute trades in financial exchanges around the world.

At Jump you will have the opportunity to contribute in a blend of three roles – quant researcher / data scientist, trader, and software developer – based on your incoming skills and background, interest and curiosity, and the new skills and industry knowledge that you will learn at Jump.

You will start by completing a training program focused on enhancing your knowledge of trading, programming, and quant research. The training consists of in-house courses and trading simulation developed and delivered by experienced quant researchers, traders, and developers. We have experts from around the firm who will teach you advanced skills in a variety of areas such as trading / market mechanics, statistics, python, C++, machine learning, and our research process.

You will then work alongside our trading teams to leverage our world-class compute environment to build predictive models and devise automated trading strategies across global markets.
