AQR is a global investment firm built at the intersection of financial theory and practical application. We strive to deliver concrete, long-term results by looking past market noise to identify and isolate the factors that matter most, and by developing ideas that stand up to rigorous testing. By putting theory into practice, we have become a leader in alternative strategies and an innovator in traditional portfolio management since 1998.

At AQR, our employees share a common spirit of academic excellence, intellectual honesty and an unwavering commitment to seeking the truth.

We recognize and respect the power of collaboration and believe transparency and openness to new ideas leads to innovation.

Your Role:

• Partner across departments including Engineering, Research, and Trading to architect and execute cross-functional projects that enhance investment execution systems and workflows.

• Lead the design and continuous improvement of internal tools, data flows, and monitoring frameworks supporting systematic portfolio management.

• Translate business and investment requirements into scalable technical solutions through collaboration with engineering teams and portfolio managers.

• Drive end-to-end project execution from design through deployment and adoption.

• Approximately 10 percent of time will be dedicated to daily portfolio implementation and monitoring activities to maintain context for ongoing system improvements.

• Telecommuting is permitted two (2) days per week

What You’ll Bring:

• Requires Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related quantitative field of study plus two (2) years of experience in a financial or quantitative environment involving cross-departmental/system design and implementation; Python (NumPy, Pandas) for analysis & automation; optimization principles; statistical analysis including regression and PCA; and strategic infrastructure or workflow projects.
