Quantitative Research Program Lead (Fintech)

Quantitative Research Program Lead, Staffi AI

Staffi AI's new client is an international multi-asset HFT business. We’re looking for 2 (two) Quantitative Research Program Leads – senior people who can take over the company’s Quant Bootcamp project and structure a training (with an “N”) course for young aspiring quantitative researchers and traders (they’ll be placed in live trading units upon completion). This is a full-time and remote-friendly position. This role sits at the intersection of quantitative research, education, and talent strategy. You will own the full lifecycle of the Quant Bootcamp and ensure the pipeline consistently outputs researchers who can deliver real alpha. Graduates who complete the Bootcamp are integrated directly into the company’s live trading: real capital, real markets, real constraints. This is not a quant finance class with a certificate at the end. More about what you’ll do: ⚡ Curriculum design: build (and continuously improve) a highly-intensive 3-6 month course covering mathematics, statistics, ML, market microstructure, backtesting, risk management, and production pipelines; define milestones and passing criteria, and put together hands-on projects grounded in real market data.
⚡Talent development: provide 1-1 and group mentorship, run research and code review sessions, and train participants on production infrastructure, data leakage prevention, and the realities of live market research.
⚡ Talent assessment: evaluate performance throughout the course, make clear decisions on progression or exits, and match graduates to open roles based on demonstrated strengths and team needs; own the handoff, ensuring graduates land well and begin to contribute quickly.
⚡ Program management: working with documents, providing training to an in-house team of mentors, managing the budget, and contributing to the employer branding in the quant community.

⚡ Experience with designing structured training courses or bootcamps.
⚡ Familiarity with graduate recruitment programs at acknowledged quantitative trading companies.

✅ Very attractive compensation package: high base salary and performance-based bonus structure.
✅ Open-minded and rewarding work environment supportive of initiatives that boost business growth and efficiency.
✅ Team of true experts in quantitative investments, high-frequency trading, research, and infrastructure. View more Job type | Full-time
