Head of Machine Learning - Algorithmic Trading

AI Search are delighted to be partnered with one of the seminal algorithmic trading firms globally, as they look to appoint aHead of Machine Learningto be based in Europe.

This is a firm with a deep-rooted commitment to research - already running proprietary compute cluster, extensive GPU infrastructure, and production-level trading strategies fully powered by Machine Learning. They are now entering a new phase, seeking an industry-leading figureoutsideof Quant Finance to redefine the frontiers of ML within their operation.

The ideal candidate will be academically recognised, deeply hands-on, and possess a proven track record of shipping truly novel ML products. A background in Finance isnotrequired - in fact, they are deliberately seeking someone with an orthogonal perspective to bring fresh thinking into the domain.

This person will unify a department already staffed with exceptional researchers from Academia and Big Tech (with backgrounds in areas such as LLMs and Causal Inference), and collaborate closely with a US-based counterpart recently hired.

The culture here is flat, highly collaborative and fundamentally driven by merit — and they are prepared to offer a substantial, unbounded compensation package that may include family relocation, sign-on bonuses and guaranteed structures for the right individual.

Further details, including firm name and compensation guide, will be provided on a case-by-case basis.
