Form of workAbout AE Capital
We are an award-winning Australian trading firm that has been using the power of human expertise, data science and machine learning to predict markets for over 10 years. We strive to be at the leading edge of technology and science and have continually outperformed the market in this time. Founded by scientists and operated by traders, quants, and software engineers our focus remains firm on improving our core prediction engine and identifying new opportunities to use technology to make markets fair for all.
Our success has led to several new opportunities and combined with the expansion of our team; we need another highly capable team player to contribute to our ongoing success.
The job
As a Quantitative Analyst you will use your expertise in computer modelling to work with our traders and contribute to the design and development of our predictive models, that our quantitative developers and software engineers then bring to life.
We are a “Bayesian” firm that values intuitive priors and empirical inference to identify and prove a theory or relationship. We are not afraid to explore new ideas and being "applied academics” at the core, we will encourage theoretical and practical pursuits in data science, machine learning, stochastic processes, optimization, signal processing and control systems, to name a few. Financial markets are truly the most humbling of all predictive systems and the optimal place to test and hone your skills.
We are a small and agile company that will provide you with the ability to engage and work across all areas of the business and collaborate with all your colleagues to collectively design and build solutions that result in measurable, positive outcomes.
About You:
You will need to be articulate, intelligent, naturally inquisitive, and thrive in environments that encourage new ideas and value thought leadership.
You will need to be able to demonstrate:
● A strong academic foundation with a passion for truth and the scientific method
● Excellent coding skills and deep experience with big data sets (Matlab, Python, C, Fortran, or similar).
● Ideally you will be comfortable in a Unix environment with knowledge of cluster computing.
● A high-level of initiative and self-motivation.
● A willingness to further develop and specialize your skills including the knowledge of financial markets if you are new to the industry.
Your background:
● Masters or PhD in Physics, Atmospheric Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering or an equivalent discipline
● Exposure to financial markets and software development will be advantageous but not essential for the right person.
We are happy to consider entry level and experienced applicants. If you are accountable, professional, enjoy a collaborative high achieving team environment and want to work with some of the brightest and best in the business, all you need to do is send us your CV and Cover letter. We’ll invite you to undertake a few quick online assessments and then be in touch.
In return we will provide you with a work environment and opportunity that will enable you to thrive, be heard and be valued; plus be very well compensated.
