About the Role
We are seeking seasoned rates traders to contribute to an advanced AI initiative supporting an algorithmic trading desk at a major investment bank. Your task is to utilize your professional knowledge to guide the training of modern AI systems, influencing how they reason and function by providing authentic, high-quality data. You do not need a background in AI, as your industry expertise is the main requirement. You will assess AI outputs relative to actual market standards and share expert insights regarding complex trading strategies and rates market architecture. This role is perfect for experts with practical experience in products such as interest rate swaps, swaptions, treasury futures, repo, and Eurodollar/SOFR. While experience with systematic or algorithmic trading is considered a plus, it is not a prerequisite. You will function as a vital link between traditional financial operations and the advancement of artificial intelligence.
Requirements
- You must have previous or ongoing experience as a rates trader within a hedge fund, investment bank, or comparable financial institution.
- You need comprehensive practical expertise in trading interest rate swaps, swaptions, treasury futures, SOFR/Eurodollar, and repo, plus a thorough grasp of desk operations and market structure.
- Having experience in systematic or algorithmic trading is highly advantageous but not required.
- You should possess strong capabilities in market scenario analysis, quantitative strategy assessment, and trading risk evaluation.
- You must have high-level verbal and written communication skills to articulate observations to diverse stakeholders.
- You are expected to be disciplined and dependable while working within a collaborative, remote project team.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate outputs and strategies produced by AI to verify their realism, risk management adherence, and accuracy regarding rates products.
- Develop and improve specialized tasks and instructions derived from actual trading scenarios.
- Analyze the performance of AI models within simulated market environments to pinpoint strategic advantages and limitations.
- Offer professional feedback on how AI-generated strategies compare to current market structures and desk protocols.
- Work alongside technology leads to convert financial domain needs into specific instructions for training models, while recording your reasoning and reporting observations to the group.
