Head of Research – Deep Learning (HFT)

• Bring deep learning expertise to the firm's core research
• Hire and develop top research talent

• World-class deep learning expertise, from a leading AI lab, university or research institute

• A strong publication record or equivalent recognised impact
• Comfort in a direct, demanding and fast-moving environment
• Based in Amsterdam or willing to relocate

• Seven-figure compensation
• The chance to shape research at one of the most successful HFT firms in Europe
• Real scale: your work goes straight into live trading across global markets
