You report to Benjamin Kauper (Director Systematic Strategies & Risk) and join a team of three quants working directly with Portfolio Management and Fundamental Research.\nYour priorities in this role will include:\nSignals that move capital. You own the alpha-signal and risk-model lifecycle for that watchlist, in benchmark-independent, highly active portfolios that turn over three to four times a year.\nQuantamental proof work. You test the fundamental team's hypotheses systematically. What holds out-of-sample becomes a signal we trade, what does not gets removed based on factual evidence.\n70 / 30. You spend roughly 70% of your week on research, idea generation and backtesting, and 30% on production code that puts the models into the live environment.\nTime series over noise. You turn economic hypotheses into testable time-series models: stationarity, autocorrelation, AR/MA/ARIMA, regularized regression, etc.\nUnstructured text to signal. You build in Python and SQL on AWS with a Snowflake DWH, and use LLMs to turn alternative data signals into tradable signals.\nThe experience you bring\nFirst full-time experience (1-2 years) in quantitative research or data science in the investment domain, or several substantial internships in those areas during your studies.\nA completed Master's or PhD in mathematics, physics, computer science, statistics, economics or finance, with excellent results.\nCommand of the statistical models and frameworks we use daily: probability, regression, time-series analysis, and first exposure to machine learning. \nStrong coding skills in Python and SQL. \nExperience with leveraging LLMs to conduct research, designing your own investment strategies or building personal side projects.\nYou communicate fluently in English, our working language. Fluency in German is not required.\n2 reasons why you should not apply\nYou want to maintain and monitor models someone else built? This is a role for builders: you develop and deploy what shapes our investment decisions, and own it from hypothesis through backtest to production.\nYou are looking for high-frequency trading, or for purely systematic research? Our funds have long-only strategies and we follow a quantamental strategy equally leveraging fundamental analysis and systematic. \nYour mindset\nYou are passionate about stocks, financial markets, and technology.\n\nYou are AI-pilled and actively think about automating and advancing your own remit.\n\nYou are a curious person with a strong willingness to learn and consistently improve.\n\nYou are a team player, seeking to thrive in a collaborative, and high-performance environment.\n\nYou think outside of the box and and are comfortable with generating new, ambiguous ideas.\nWhat we offer\nBecome part of a unique success story in European asset management, with real influence over a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio.\nWork with terabytes of data, advanced research tools, and proprietary alternative data you will not find at traditional asset managers.\nA motivated, international team of 15 nationalities with flat hierarchies and direct access to our management team and investors.\nDay 1 ownership of challenging, varied work, a steep learning curve, and a transparent, appreciative feedback culture.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3461,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T20:21:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":16,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.451,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bitcap-junior-quant-researcher-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bitcap-junior-quant-researcher-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T20:59:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9516,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2533801},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2533801"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbitcap-junior-quant-researcher-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbitcap-junior-quant-researcher-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbitcap-junior-quant-researcher-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bitcap-junior-quant-researcher-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbitcap-junior-quant-researcher-mfd"}]}
