AI Research Engineer - Alpha Discovery (USA)

We are seeking an AI Research Engineer to build AI-driven systems that accelerate alpha discovery for a systematic quantitative hedge fund. This role focuses on leveraging advanced AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code and other LLM-based agents) to design automated research workflows that generate new data variables, predictive signals, and systematic trading strategies.

You will operate at the intersection of quantitative research, machine learning, and AI-augmented development — building scalable systems that materially increase research velocity and idea quality.

Responsibilities

• Design AI-assisted research pipelines for data ingestion, feature engineering, alpha generation, and backtesting.


• Build agentic workflows that autonomously explore datasets and propose candidate signals.


• Rapidly prototype and evaluate systematic strategies with robust validation frameworks.


• Improve research eff...
