An opportunity to join our QIS Structuring team. We are looking for an Analyst or Associate to join Macquarie’s Quantitative Index Strategies team, to primarily focus on the development of Machine Learning inspired cross-asset trading strategies.

You will be involved in the development of systematic indices which use a range of different technologies including Machine Learning to capture a particular phenomenon in the market (e.g. Trend, Carry etc.). This will involve covering all aspects of the index development cycle including pre-processing of data and signals to be used in Machine Learning models, signal research, index documentation and implementation.  You will be required to liaise with various teams including Sales, Trading, Quants, Index Calculation Team as well as other members of the Structuring team.

We are looking for demonstrable experience of complex data analysis (using Python) and the ability to understand and apply advanced machine learning techniques.

Machine learning experience is essential. Some finance experience will be useful but not essential.

Candidates with an advanced Masters or PhD in a Quantitative subject are encouraged to apply, however equivalent experience may also be considered.

If you are looking to join a dynamic team, focused on developing increasingly sophisticated and cutting-edge trading strategies across asset classes, then please apply now.
