The firm pursues investment strategies primarily within the global fixed income markets with the objectives of capital preservation and absolute return without significant correlation to equity, interest rate and foreign exchange markets. Established in 1994, Bracebridge manages private investment funds that serve endowments, foundations, pension funds and other institutional and high-net-worth investors.\nApproximately 170 employees operate from our office located in Boston’s historic Back Bay. The entrepreneurial and collaborative culture at Bracebridge rewards and supports motivated, dedicated, enthusiastic and intellectually curious individuals. We believe our firm’s greatest asset is the people who work here.\nWe are seeking a Machine Learning Analyst to join the growing data analytics and machine learning team. The team’s primary mission is to develop machine learning systems to answer open-ended investment questions and support portfolio management decisions. The team works across the project lifecycle and technical stack, from ideation, understanding and analyzing data, hypothesis generation and testing, and model development all the way through to the deployment and maintenance of models and systems in production. Our work spans statistical modeling, classical machine learning, and modern AI and LLM techniques.\nThe Machine Learning Analyst’s primary responsibility will be to contribute to these efforts alongside other team members. Over time, you will develop the technical and domain expertise needed to take increasing ownership of individual components and ultimately end-to-end projects.\nThe work is highly collaborative and spans quantitative research, software engineering, and machine learning. Analysts work with other members of the machine learning team and portfolio managers to translate loosely defined investment ideas into practical tools and models. Successful candidates will have solid programming foundations, be comfortable translating between qualitative and quantitative descriptions of problems and be excited to build data analysis and machine learning systems against the backdrop of portfolio management.\nSince the team works closely with trading floor personnel to assist with portfolio management decision-making, an interest in economic and financial markets is essential, but no specific prior experience is necessary.\nThis role is open to candidates available to begin in the near term, as well as students expecting to complete their undergraduate degree between Fall 2026 and Summer 2027. Start dates will be determined based on candidate availability and, for students, degree completion.\n Responsibilities:\nCollaborate closely with Machine Learning team members, portfolio managers, and researchers to translate open-ended investment questions into well-defined analytical and machine learning problems\nDevelop and evaluate data-driven machine learning and quantitative models, including simulation- and optimization-based approaches, for investment-related problems\nContribute to maintaining existing models and analytic tools in production\nOver time, take ownership of individual features and components and full projects\nClearly document and communicate methods, assumptions, results, and limitations of models to other researchers and trading professionals across the firm\nStay current with relevant new techniques and technologies in machine learning and artificial intelligence, particularly as they pertain to finance and investing\nQualifications:\nBachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in a rigorous quantitative field\n0-2 years of experience through industry internships, undergraduate research or thesis, or substantial independent technical projects involving software development, data analysis, or machine learning\nProficiency in Python and familiarity with the Python data science stack (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, etc), with experience in other languages a plus\nExperience working with and analyzing data from multiple sources and in multiple formats\nFamiliarity with machine learning and statistical modeling fundamentals, including model evaluation and experimental design\nDemonstrated ability to independently scope and execute open-ended technical projects\nInterest in financial markets, intellectual curiosity, and comfort in working on open-ended problems\nStrong written and verbal communication skills\nCurrent anticipated annual base salary range: $110,000 - $145,000\nBase salary within the range will be determined by various factors including but not limited to the individual's experience, skills and qualifications.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4738,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T11:21:35Z"}],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.384,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":72,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bracebridgecapital-machine-learning-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bracebridgecapital-machine-learning-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-27T00:18:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":226,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4774,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00Z"}}}
