Numerai

Numerai is a new kind of hedge fund powered by a decentralized network of machine learning models. Every week, thousands of data scientists from around the world compete in the https : / / numer.ai data science tournament to model our dataset and predict the global stock market, earning staking rewards in the NMR cryptocurrency based on their performance. Collectively, these staked predictions form the Meta Model which controls the portfolio of the Numerai hedge fund.

We are looking for talented and motivated data scientists, data engineers, and machine learning researchers to help us capture all of the data in the world and convert it into alpha.

The Role

Your role as a quantitative research enginer is to work on all of the systems that support the Numerai data, research, and trading pipeline.
