For Quants, we are looking for 4 different types of people. We are happy to have people without experience in finance in any of the categories.
#1-Classic Quant- excellent education, usually a PhD in a hard science, award winner (think IMO or IOI) that is straight from school or can be experienced (we are looking for all levels), has programming skill
#2-Game Playing Profile-good education, does not need to have Master's or PhD, has some programming, big into poker, chess, bridge, loves to compete and win, they can write algorithms to play and win games like Halo or World of Warcraft, heavy into strategy
#3 Robotics people- people who work on robotics and have competed in things like the DARPA Grand Challenge, usually a PhD in computer science, heavy into algorithm design, development, and implementation for intelligent systems, good programming skills, knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques
#4 Programmers with Quant skills-excellent programmers who have math background and understand the basics of modeling, does not need to have Master's or PhD
For Research Analysts, we are open to a variety of profiles and backgrounds. They must have good education with a degree in a hard science. We are looking at candidates from the top schools. An ideal candidate will have excelled at something in their lives and it shows on their resume. Other traits the ideal candidate will have are: outside interests, like smaller, more nimble firms as opposed to big companies, entrepreneurial, interested in odds, are technically literate and can
write code, and are interested in applying scientific method to trading (think back testing, hypothesis formulation, ect). We are willing to take fresh grads to experienced hires in this area too. If the person has no finance experience, that's fine. An example of something a good candidate not from finance would have worked on is taking the Fantasy Football stats for each player in the league, shredded the data and used that to predict how the player would do this year.
