A Quant Researcher Role Covering Arbitrage, High-Frequency Signals, and Backtesting

Summary

This document is a job listing for a quantitative strategy researcher in Hangzhou. It outlines research responsibilities that include building quantitative models for financial markets, studying arbitrage approaches such as statistical and event arbitrage, developing high-frequency trading signals, and evaluating signals through simulated trading and backtesting. It also describes collaboration with systems developers as part of bringing research into a trading system.

The listing names desired skills including time-series modeling, derivatives pricing, mathematical modeling, data processing, and programming with research tools such as Python and MATLAB, with C++ listed as an advantage. It is not a strategy guide and provides no trading method, empirical results, or evaluation of any signal. Its value for traders and researchers is limited to a description of common quant research tasks and skill areas; it should be treated as recruitment material rather than evidence about strategy performance.
