This is not a traditional quant or engineering role - it sits at the intersection of investment workflows, data strategy, and applied AI, with a mandate to drive real adoption and measurable impact across our Macro & Fixed Income platform.\nWe need someone who can get hands-on with training, datasets, prompt engineering, and implementation, while continuing to advocate for DMFI priorities with the platform AI team.\nThe ideal candidate is 3-5 years out of university, likely with a PhD or strong technical background (computer science, data science, computational finance, physics, engineering, or similar), who has a genuine base-case curiosity about AI and can grow into a leadership position as the function scales. We value intellectual horsepower and hunger over years of experience.\nWhat You'll Do\nAI Implementation & Hands-On Delivery\nOwn the end-to-end implementation of AI tools and workflows for DMFI PMs and analysts - from scoping use cases through to production deployment and adoption tracking.\nBuild, test, and refine custom prompts, skill libraries, and automated workflows tailored to macro/fixed income investment processes.\nDevelop and maintain custom datasources (vectorised document stores, research embeddings, email ingestion pipelines) that PMs can query via SchonAI/Claude.\nWork with proprietary pod-level data, market data (Bloomberg, Citi Velocity, DTCC), and internal analytics to create AI-accessible datasets.\nPrototype and iterate on use cases: AI-driven research briefs, trade write-ups, behavioural bias detection, position analytics, and idea generation tools.\nTraining & PM Adoption\nDesign and deliver training programmes for PMs and analysts - from prompt engineering fundamentals to advanced Claude Code sessions.\nCreate playbooks, best-practice guides, and reusable templates that lower the barrier to AI adoption.\nRun regular \"AI Lab\" sessions, demo new capabilities, and build institutional knowledge across the platform.\nTrack adoption metrics (usage rates, token spend, hours saved, model adoption) and report on ROI to senior management.\nIdentify and address friction points - token budgets, workflow gaps, awareness issues - to drive consistent adoption.\nData Strategy & Dataset Management\nMap and catalogue DMFI's data landscape: what data exists, where it lives, and how to make it AI-accessible.\nDrive the ingestion and embedding of key data sources: broker research (email and platform), central bank transcripts, internal research notes, and PM communications.\nEnsure data quality, naming conventions, and governance standards for all AI-accessible datasets.\nWork with Technology to build and maintain data pipelines that keep AI tools fed with current, relevant information.\nPlatform Liaison & Priority Advocacy\nAct as the primary interface between DMFI and the central AI/Technology team - representing PM priorities, advocating for resources, and ensuring DMFI's roadmap items are appropriately prioritized.\nParticipate in cross-strategy AI working groups, share DMFI use cases, and import best practices from other strategy sets.\nTranslate business requirements into technical specifications that the AI engineering team can deliver.\nStay current on the rapidly evolving AI landscape (new models, tools, capabilities) and assess relevance for DMFI.\nCompliance & Governance\nEnsure all AI-derived analytics and outputs have appropriate audit trails for compliance purposes.\nWork with Compliance to establish guardrails for AI usage in trading contexts.\nMaintain documentation of all active AI tools, datasets, and workflows.\nWhat You'll Bring\n3-5 years post-university; PhD or Master's in a quantitative/technical discipline strongly preferred (Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Computational Finance, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, or similar).\nGenuine, demonstrable passion for AI - personal projects, open-source contributions, research papers, or equivalent evidence of self-directed learning.\nHands-on proficiency with Python; experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace), LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic), and data manipulation libraries (pandas, numpy).\nFamiliarity with NLP concepts: embeddings, vector databases, RAG architectures, prompt engineering, fine-tuning.\nComfort working with large datasets and building data pipelines (SQL, cloud storage, APIs).\nInterest in or exposure to financial markets - particularly macro/fixed income - is a strong plus but not required; we will teach the domain to the right technical candidate.\nExcellent communication skills - ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical PMs and translate vague business needs into concrete technical solutions.\nSelf-starter mentality: comfortable with ambiguity, able to prioritise independently, and driven to ship tangible outcomes rather than just produce analysis.\nCollaborative and low-ego; able to work across seniority levels from junior analysts to senior PMs and C-suite.\nWhat Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)\nMeasurable increase in PM AI adoption rates across DMFI.\nAt least 3-5 fully deployed, production-quality AI workflows generating demonstrable time savings or insight generation for PMs.\nComplete catalogue of DMFI datasets with clear AI-accessibility status and roadmap.\nRegular training cadence established with positive PM feedback.\nClear prioritisation framework agreed with central AI team for DMFI-specific enhancements.\nQuantified ROI metrics linking AI usage to operational efficiency and/or investment edge.\nWho we are \n Schonfeld is a global multi-manager hedge fund that strives to deliver industry-leading risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
