OtherQuantitative Researcher

Evidence of original technical ability in ML, statistics, mathematics, computer science, physics or another quantitative field. Publications are one route, but not the only one; strong industrial research or major open-source contributions can also be good evidence.
Deep practical understanding of modern deep learning: architectures, objectives, optimisation, scaling, evaluation and failure modes.
Strong mathematical and statistical foundations.
Excellent programming ability and comfort working close to the details of implementation.
Good experimental taste: forming hypotheses, designing clean tests, reading ambiguous results and changing your mind quickly when the evidence changes.
High standards, intellectual honesty and the ability to work in a flat team where ideas are challenged directly.
No finance background is needed; the important thing is being willing to learn the domain.

PhD or equivalent research experience in a relevant technical field.
Experience training large models or building ML systems at meaningful scale.
Work in time-series modelling, online or continual learning, reinforcement learning, causal inference, probabilistic modelling, optimisation, compilers, HPC or low-latency systems.
Experience taking research beyond a prototype.
