I have a phone interview coming up for the role of Trading Strategist with a quantitative fund. This is the description:
• develop trading signals (alpha generation)
• work on projects focused on improving execution and trading strategies
• explore large data sets
• investigate and implement recent academic research
• apply machine learning techniques to alpha discovery and portfolio optimization
• design, implement and execute massively parallel backtest and production environments
• an excellent opportunity for new graduates to learn cutting-edge quantitative finance theory and practice while building a rewarding, long-term career
What kind of questions should I be expecting? The position is entry level (for undergrad.)
