Quantitative Research

Senior Quantitative Researcher

Hybrid · Full-time

White Walls is looking for a Senior Quantitative Researcher to build the models that inform how the fund allocates across equities, commodities, and digital assets. You will test ideas rigorously out of sample before they ever influence a real decision, and be direct about where a model breaks down.

What you'll do

• Design and backtest models for asset allocation, correlation, and risk-adjusted return
• Validate models out of sample and document where they hold up and where they do not
• Present model findings directly to the investing team ahead of scheduled reviews
• Partner with the data analyst to ensure model inputs are accurate and well-structured
• Revisit and stress-test existing models as market conditions shift

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of experience in quantitative research, portfolio analytics, or a related field
• Strong grounding in statistics and fluency in Python or a similar analytical toolset
• A rigorous approach to out-of-sample validation, not just in-sample fit
• Ability to explain a model's conclusions in plain terms to a non-quant audience
• Advanced degree in a quantitative field preferred (mathematics, statistics, physics, or similar)
