G-Research Dallas
Our Dallas office enables the world’s brightest engineers to build first-of-their-kind platforms to support our groundbreaking quantitative financial research.
Chase, a Platform Engineer at G-Research, shares her personal experiences working in our vibrant Dallas office and highlights the supportive work environment and lively community we foster.
At G-Research Dallas, Chase discovered a dynamic and welcoming community that extends beyond work. Engaging book clubs and competitive fantasy football leagues provide opportunities to connect with colleagues outside the office. These social events create a sense of camaraderie and help build strong bonds among team members.
Chase emphasizes the structured support system – in place for all new joiners – which aided her onboarding, including a buddy to help her settle into the Dallas office and a mentor to help guide her in setting clear career goals and offering valuable insights into life at G-Research.
In this video, Philip Bullock, US IaaS Lead, shares insights into our approach to infrastructure innovation. He delves into the immense compute power that underpins G-Research and explains how we ensure we stay at the cutting edge of technology and finance.

"My team and I have access to a wide range of training opportunities, which allowed us to get the entire team AWS certified within a quarter. We’re actively working on the latest AI and Machine Learning projects to stay ahead of industry standards."
"The problems we solve are often novel in nature, meaning we get to solve the previously unsolved. I find this to be a great way to stay challenged and engaged!"
"The friendly, collaborative atmosphere here is a breath of fresh air and a perfect fit for me."
"The willingness to collaborate between both teams and functions has made the transition into my new role as easy as possible."
"It’s a privilege to be in a place where my curiosity is nurtured and my learning journey is supported!"
"The best thing about working at G-Research is being around such smart people, it motivates you to always want to grow and learn."
"What I’ve enjoyed most about working at G-Research is the people and how willing they are to invest their time and effort in order to achieve the best possible outcomes; everyone here is collaborative and always willing to help."
"I continue to be blown away by the quality of the people I get to work with here: G-Research thrives because of its team culture and we’ve hired carefully to make sure everyone is both exceptionally smart and great to work with."
"I enjoy how dynamic the work environment at G-Research is. It keeps you busy and continuously creates opportunities to develop yourself and your career, too."
"While some people might think working in finance may not be too exciting, at G-Research, it is, especially if you see it as a problem to solve. How do we solve this algorithm? How do we get faster? This is why I think people are really excited to work at G-Research."
"I've felt very lucky to work with teams of people across the business who are generous with their time, knowledge and ideas as we collaborate to continuously build and rebuild complex systems with lots of moving parts."
"There are lots of people within the business that have started as a junior and progressed – which I think is testament to G-Research’s belief in fostering growth and recognising potential."
"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)."
"What I appreciate most about working in G-Research is the supportive and knowledgeable environment. Everyone is incredibly helpful and patient, which ensures there’s a good balance between being challenged and your workload."
"What I like the most about my job is it’s super open. I’m able to work with a lot of folks from other teams, too, such as working closely with Engineers and other Quantitative Researchers."
"My intern experience was really good. You get the opportunity to impact a business, which is important if you’re preparing to enter the workplace. You get to do something useful and see how it gets used; I worked on a project that is still being used now."
"My role focuses on finding signals in real-world data and in many ways, it feels like a continuation of my PhD; I’m looking at unexplored problems and I choose which ones to focus on."
"Work culture is an important aspect for me, so when I was contacted by G-Research I discovered a company where I could grow as a developer, whilst feeling like the company valued me as a person, not just a code monkey."
"There was a lot I didn't know about the G-Research, so I gained insights from those who interviewed me. They all came across as intelligent, curious, and interested in exploring problems from different angles. I figured if people like this enjoy their jobs then I most certainly will."
"My favourite part of working for G-Research is that Technology is at the heart of everything we do at the company, driving the business forward and enabling us to stay ahead of the competition."
"Before G-Research I’d completed internships at a few companies whilst studying Computer Science at the University of York. Since joining, I’ve progressed from an intern to a graduate to an engineer, having worked on systems and technology core to the business my entire time."
"The two biggest things that I like about working at G-Research are the smart and incredibly friendly colleagues, as well as being able to strike a really good work-life balance (in contrast to a lot of the finance industry)."
"My favourite part of working at G-Research is the people, from my colleagues to our customers. The culture is great and encourages collaboration, which makes it easier for everyone to work together."
"My favourite thing about working at G-Research is the people. G-Research strives to hire not only the brightest minds, but good people, which in turn creates a brilliant collegiate and social atmosphere at the company."
Hear from our Head of Forecasting Engineering on why the term "tech debt" has outlived its usefulness. In this blog, he explores why we should move away from generic labels and instead ask more precise, value-driven questions that lead to meaningful improvements in engineering and business outcomes.
