Quantitative research & machine learning

Our Research Lab is a home for curious minds, where our researchers apply deep mathematical, statistical and scientific rigour to tackle some of the most complex challenges in quantitative finance.

Mathematical modelling

We combine cutting-edge technology with world-class resources to create algorithmic platforms for our clients.

Using rigorous scientific methods, we analyse vast, complex datasets to uncover deep, actionable insights. Our platform enables researchers to test hypotheses, build models and receive instant feedback, accelerating innovation at every step.

We then design and implement advanced optimisation techniques to extract maximum value from every idea.

Machine learning

Our researchers challenge the efficient market hypothesis every day, a task that demands more than textbook methods.

To stay ahead, they harness massive compute power and apply cutting-edge machine-learning techniques, whether drawn from the latest research or developed in-house. Innovation is essential; in a world of constant competition, only novel approaches deliver an edge.

Machine Learning College

We don’t just hire some of the best ML practitioners in the world, we also develop the next generation of talent too, through G-Research Machine Learning College.

Sebastian Senior Quantitative Researcher

"G-Research makes a lot of effort to have a very open culture and gives a lot of freedom to its individual researchers to pursue directions that they think are valuable, with each researcher very much driving their own research. I didn’t feel like I was losing a lot of freedom compared to academia."

Assessment process for quantitative
research and machine learning

Our quantitative researchers and ML practitioners have a record of academic achievement in mathematics, physics, ML, computer science or engineering. There’s no need for experience in finance.

Online application

Quick and easy: We will ask for your CV/resume and a few personal details like your education and contact information. Our Talent Acquisition team will review your application to see if you are a good fit, and you will receive an update on the status of your application within one week of applying.

Interview preparation guide
Stage one: Online quant quiz

You will be asked to complete one of two quant quizzes: either a general quantitative aptitude assessment, or an ML specific one, depending on your background.

Recommended reading
Stage two: Technical interviews

Typically, you will sit four interviews, one of which will focus on in-depth technical questions in mathematics. Each interview will last one hour.

If your profile is better suited to ML, you’ll complete two one-hour interviews that focus on your ML knowledge. You should also expect questions on mathematics, programming and statistics that are relevant to the space.

Stage three: Leadership interviews

Following the successful completion of the technical interviews, you will meet some of our leaders.
