Quantitative Research & Machine Learning

Our researchers use the latest scientific techniques and advanced statistical analysis methods to predict movement in global financial markets.

Mathematical Modelling

Our technology and resources are combined to build a single, powerful algorithmic trading platform for client use.

We use rigorous scientific methodology to analyse an extensive data ecosystem, extracting deep insights from truly massive datasets. Our platform allows our researchers to test, model and get instant results. We then design and develop state-of-the-art optimisation techniques to maximise the value of every idea.

Machine Learning

Our researchers have a challenge: disproving the efficient market hypothesis every day. This requires them to harness massive compute power and to use state-of-the-art ML techniques – published in recent conferences or developed entirely in-house – as textbook methods won’t beat the competition.

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.

Inspirational Mathematicians

Our culture is collaborative and intellectual. Most of our researchers have joined from PhDs or Postdocs from top global institutions, and have had their work published at the most prestigious conferences in the world.

What Our People Say

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)."

Leon Quantitative Research Manager

"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."

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.

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, which will focus on your ML knowledge, but do expect to answer questions on mathematics, programming and stats that are relevant to the ML space as well!

Stage Three: Leadership Interviews

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