Investment Data Scientist
Sartre Group
This is a Contract position in Needham, MA posted August 5, 2021.
We’re partnering with one of the best performing hedge funds looking to add to their Investment Data Science team as they continue to scale their New York office.
The role focusses on utilizing quantitative methods to analyze alternative data sets in order to generate trading signals.
Unlike many similar positions where you sit in a centralized function sending out idea’s/ reports this role will see you partner with a small number of PM’s/ Traders meaning you can develop a strong understanding of their investment universe which in turn should allow you to generate more relevant and profitable ideas.
Given it’s proximity to the investment decision making process I see this role as a combination between Data Science and Investment Analysis.
In the past we’ve had success placing candidates coming from a range of backgrounds, these include Quantitative Researchers looking to move to a fundamental business, Equity Researchers with strong quantitative skills and Data Scientists with an active interest in investments.
What all successful placements have had in common is strong technical capabilities (Python, SQL), exposure to different alternative data sets, and experience articulating ideas to PM/ Traders.
If you believe you have the relevant skills please apply and we can schedule a call to discuss potential next steps.
