Durlston Partners are working closely with a top HFT firm who are building a greenfield AI Labs across New York & Shanghai, inspired by HRT’s AI Labs. They’re targeting senior researchers with both quant and ML/DL depth.

Key details:

• Apply frontier deep-learning research to financial time series forecasting, end-to-end
• Build alongside a small team of strong ML researchers
• Real influence over how the team and business get built (with 7-figure comp to match)

Who you are:

• 2+ years in high-to-mid frequency research, ideally on the buy-side
• 2+ years of machine learning or deep learning research/engineering, whether in finance or tech
• Multiple publications in top-tier journals and conferences (e.g., IEEE, NeurIPS), ideally with over 1,000 citations
• Excellent communication skills

Whether or not you’re actively looking, this is the kind of seat that comes up once in a blue moon: pure ML research in finance, without politics or infra drag. If you’ve been waiting to work on greenfield research at significant scale, this could be a great fit.
