University Recruiter About Graviton : Graviton Research Capital is a global quantitative trading and investment firm driven by technology, mathematics and rigorous problem-solving. We bring together exceptional talent across quantitative research, software engineering and technology to solve some of the most challenging problems in the industry. Our university talent ecosystem is one of the most important engines for building Graviton's future — and one of the most operationally demanding to run well. The Role : We are looking for a campus talent professional who can both think in systems and execute in detail — someone who can shape how Graviton identifies, engages, assesses and converts exceptional early-career talent, and who is equally comfortable owning the on-the-ground execution that makes a hiring cycle run without friction. Depending on experience, this role can be scoped as a hands-on execution owner running the campus hiring engine end-to-end, or as a strategic owner architecting the assessment frameworks, university strategy and program design that the engine runs on — in both cases, you will partner closely with Quant and Tech leaders and be accountable for the full lifecycle: university outreach, assessments, internships, PPO conversion and onboarding. What You Will Own Campus Talent Strategy & Ecosystem Building Build and maintain relationships with priority institutions (IITs, IIITs, BITS and relevant global universities), placement offices, faculty and student communities. Drive year-round engagement - events, technical talks and competitions — to strengthen Graviton's employer brand outside peak hiring windows. Assessment & Selection Coordinate (or design and standardize, at senior levels) rigorous selection frameworks in partnership with Tech and Quant teams — scheduling assessments, allocating panels, driving timely feedback, and building interviewer calibration mechanisms to keep evaluation objective and consistent.
