We're looking for talented individuals to join our team.

The Role

You can expect:

• To design and build your own models using your own ideas
• To work closely with expert traders and developers to improve your models

Experience

You will need:

• A 1st class mathematics-based degree from a top university or a 2:1 from Oxbridge
• A solid understanding of the fundamentals of statistical prediction and probability theory including (but not limited to) an in-depth knowledge of regression and model fitting
• Intellectual curiosity, creativity and confidence to try new approaches
• Excellent problem solving and communication skills
• An interest in sports or competitive games

Postgraduate qualifications in statistics are preferred.
