Quantitative Researcher Every trading strategy begins with a question worth answering. At Graviton, we believe the best trading strategies don't come from following established playbooks. They come from asking better questions. Why does a pattern exist? What is driving it? Is it real or just noise? Can it be explained, modelled and turned into an edge? As a Quantitative Researcher , you'll work on these questions every day. You'll investigate market behaviour, develop quantitative models, build and test hypotheses and turn insights into trading strategies. You'll work alongside quantitative researchers and technologists in an environment where research moves quickly from an idea on a whiteboard to something that can influence live trading. The problems are open-ended. The data is enormous. The answers aren't in a textbook. You'll be expected to find them. What You'll Work On You'll work across different areas of quantitative research and systematic trading. Depending on your team and research interests, your work may include: Discovering predictive patterns and sources of alpha from billions of market events . Formulating hypotheses about market behaviour and designing experiments to test them. Applying probability, statistics, optimization and machine learning to complex research problems. Building predictive models and quantitative signals for systematic trading. Developing and improving research infrastructure that enables faster experimentation and deeper analysis. Working with large and complex datasets to uncover patterns that aren't immediately visible. Designing robust backtests and statistical tests to distinguish genuine signals from noise. Investigating market microstructure and understanding how markets behave at different timescales. Evaluating strategy performance, identifying weaknesses and continuously refining models. Working closely with technologists to translate research ideas into efficient, production-ready systems. Building AI-powered r
