Job Description

Founding Quantitative Researcher

About the Role

We’re building an AI-native wealth management platform to transform how financial advisors serve their clients. Despite trillions of assets under management, the industry still relies on manual processes that limit outcomes. Backed by world-class investors and advisors, our founding team brings deep experience from top fintech and AI companies. As our Founding Quantitative Researcher, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our core technology and driving real impact on the future of wealth management.

What You’ll Own

  • Portfolio optimization algorithms balancing return, risk, and tax efficiency.
  • Machine learning models that personalize investment strategies at scale.
  • Quantitative research powering the AI-driven advisor platform.
  • Advisor relationships to translate real-world needs into research and product improvements.

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years as a quantitative researcher at a Tier 1 fund (or 3+ years with an advanced degree).
  • Proven experience developing and implementing systematic strategies (not just academic research).
  • Strong background in portfolio optimization, risk modeling, or systematic strategies.
  • Education

  • PhD in Finance, Mathematics, Economics, Physics, or Computer Science strongly preferred.
  • Exceptional candidates with 7+ years applied experience may substitute for a PhD.
  • Skills

  • Full-stack quantitative fluency with strong fundamentals in modern frameworks.
  • Expertise in AI / ML applications to investment strategies.
  • Advanced coding skills; able to iterate quickly (“vibe coding” mindset).
  • Thrives in the chaos of early-stage startups; embraces ambiguity.
  • High EQ and maturity; collaborative and eager to mentor in a flat team structure.
  • Strong product sense and communication skills to engage directly with advisors.
  • Demonstrated high slope (intrinsic motivation, ambition, and drive).
  • This is a rare opportunity to join as a founding team member at the intersection of fintech and AI. You’ll directly shape industry-defining technology, have ownership over core algorithms, and see your work translate into better financial outcomes for millions of clients.
