Co-Head of Quantitative Research | Gurugram | Systematic Hedge Fund | $300K+ USD, TC openWe 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 simple, more live P&L, same standards, bigger team.ResponsibilitiesOriginate, validate and deploy differentiated equity and derivatives signals that hit the live bookContribute directly to trading P&L - this role is measured on production, not activityCo-lead the India research function: research reviews, reproducibility, hiring bar, mentoringShape the research roadmap and push the work on modelling, data and signal constructionScale the team without letting the quality of alpha slipSkills / Experience5+ years in systematic equity and / or derivatives alpha researchProven live P&L from strategies you built - they are looking for people who can defend around $20m attributableDeep working knowledge of signal decay, capacity, risk and overfittingStrong Python and fluency with modern research / ML workflowsComfortable as a player-coach - still in the research seat, not hiding behind a titleBackground at a serious systematic shop is a plus Equities, options, futures experience preferred. Crypto-only profiles will not fitGurugram, 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,
