“Before joining G-Research, I completed an Applied Mathematics PhD at Oxford, where I worked on modelling flows of customers inside supermarkets (in collaboration with Tesco). As a Senior Quantitative Researcher, my job here focuses on producing forecasts of market returns using mathematical models and various data feeds.
“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).”
"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 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."
"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)."
"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."
"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."
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.
