Defined by evolution, innovation and focus, Millennium's mission is to deliver results for our investors.\nOur people are empowered with both independence and support: the autonomy to pursue ideas with conviction and the backing of a global network committed to collaboration, disciplined risk management and continuous learning. With opportunities to deepen expertise and accelerate development, talent at Millennium is equipped to adapt, evolve and build lasting impact over time. Discover how transformative growth accelerates impact.\nMeet the Team\nMillennium's Global Risk Management Department is responsible for identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing and reporting on the risks associated with Millennium's portfolios at the Firm-wide and Portfolio Manager levels, with a focus on the market, credit and liquidity risks the Firm faces in the course of its business. At the Portfolio Manager level, the team establishes and monitors trading parameters, risk guidelines and performance metrics across three regions and multiple product classes, and also monitors aggregations of risk up to the full Firm-wide level. Within Risk Management, the Quantitative Strategies team is a collaborative and entrepreneurial investment team that develops quantitative investment strategies across asset classes, including equities, fixed income, commodities, credit and FX, and across a broad set of instruments spanning futures, forwards, options, swaps and cash products. The team works across the full research lifecycle: idea generation, data sourcing, signal development, model implementation, backtesting, portfolio construction and live strategy refinement.\nWhat You’ll Do\nConduct original research and develop systematic investment strategies across all asset classes, including equities, rates, commodities, credit, and FX.\n\nGenerate and test new research ideas using financial intuition, statistical learning, and large, diverse datasets.\n\nBuild and improve research infrastructure, including data pipelines, signal analytics, backtesting tools, and portfolio analytics.\n\nAnalyze strategy performance with attention to robustness, implementation, transaction costs, liquidity, and risk exposures.\n\nResearch opportunities across futures, forwards, options, swaps, and cash instruments, including relative value, directional, and cross-asset themes.\n\nPartner closely with portfolio managers, researchers, and technologists to move ideas from research into production.\n\nMonitor live strategies and refine models based on empirical results and changing market behavior.\n\nWhat You Bring\nAdvanced degree in an applied quantitative field such as statistics, econometrics, computer science, engineering, operations research, financial engineering, applied mathematics, or data science; PhD preferred but not required, and exceptional candidates with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or equivalent industry experience will also be considered\n\nExcellent Python skills, including experience with common scientific/data libraries such as pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Polars, scikit-learn, or similar tools, and the ability to build clean, scalable research code.\n\nStrong grounding in statistics, probability, optimization, and empirical modeling, with rigorous model evaluation and healthy skepticism around overfitting.\n\nExperience working with large financial datasets, market data, and reproducible research workflows.\n\nAbility to build clean, scalable research code and evaluate models rigorously.\n\nExperience in quantitative research, systematic investing, hedge funds, asset management, or related research environments, with a preference for training rooted in applied problem-solving rather than purely theoretical work.\n\nStrong preference for experience in QIS (Quantitative Investment Strategies), systematic equities, cross-asset, or multi-asset derivatives research, especially tail hedging strategies; experience researching or trading systematic equities, credit, or volatility is highly desirable.\n\nFamiliarity with derivatives and implementation considerations across options, swaps, and forwards; experience with machine learning, trading cost analysis, or intraday strategy research is helpful but not required.\n\nIntellectual curiosity and genuine interest in markets and alpha research, creativity and proactive problem-solving, and the demonstrated ability to conduct independent research, communicate results clearly, and work independently in a transparent, collaborative team.\n\nSalary Range\nMillennium offers a total compensation package which includes a base salary, discretionary performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits. The estimated base salary range for this position is $160,000 to $250,000, which is specific to New York and may change in the future. When finalizing an offer, we take into consideration an individual's experience level and the qualifications they bring to the role to formulate a competitive total compensation package.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5081,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T04:19:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":23,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.386,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":88,"expected_fill_days":90,"reasons":["conf:3","evergreen","velocity","win:late","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/millennium-management-quantitative-researcher-6","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/millennium-management-quantitative-researcher-6.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T12:00:45Z","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":16364,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"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":704283},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=704283"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmillennium-management-quantitative-researcher-6"},{"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%2Fmillennium-management-quantitative-researcher-6"},{"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%2Fmillennium-management-quantitative-researcher-6"},{"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/millennium-management-quantitative-researcher-6\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmillennium-management-quantitative-researcher-6"}]}
