Co-Head of Quantitative Research | Gurugram | Systematic Hedge Fund | $300K USD, TC open

We are working with a systematic hedge fund running market-neutral equity and derivatives strategies globally. Research sits at the centre of the firm - thousands of signals, live capital, and a Gurugram office they are scaling hard. This is a producer seat with a leadership title, not a manager who used to research.

You will sit alongside the current India Head of Research and do both jobs at once: keep shipping your own alpha, and raise the quality of everyone else’s. The mandate is straightforward, more live P&L;, same standards, bigger team.

Responsibilities
Originate, validate and deploy differentiated equity and derivatives signals that hit the live book
Contribute directly to trading P&L; - this role is measured on production, not activity
Co-lead the India research function: research reviews, reproducibility, hiring bar, mentoring
Shape the research roadmap and push the work on modelling,



data and signal construction
Scale the team without letting the quality of alpha slip

Skills / Experience
5 years in systematic equity and / or derivatives alpha research
Proven live P&L; from strategies you built - they are looking for people who can defend around $20m attributable
Deep working knowledge of signal decay, capacity, risk and overfitting
Strong Python and fluency with up-to-date research / ML workflows
Comfortable as a player-coach - still in the research seat, not hiding behind a title
Background at a reliable systematic shop is a plus
Equities, options, futures experience preferred. Crypto-only profiles will not fit

Gurugram, 4 days in office. Relocation can be staggered.

If you have actually shipped alpha and want a seat where that still matters, apply with a CV.

Thanks,
