Flow Traders
Research Engineer | Hong Kong/ London (onsite)
hn · Hong Kong/ London (onsite)
Jose has 12+ years of engineering experience with strong Python, PyTorch, and ML foundations from his MS in AI and recent AI/ML roles. He demonstrates ability to build end-to-end production systems and has worked with modern cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes). However, his background is primarily in LLM agents and real-time AI products rather than systematic trading models, quantitative research, or financial markets—the core domain of this role. His statistics and mathematical modeling background for trading systems is not clearly demonstrated.
Hook: Your deep ML infrastructure and PyTorch expertise combined with 12+ years shipping production systems map directly to building research frameworks, though you'd be bringing fresh perspectives from AI into quantitative trading.
Missing: Quantitative finance / systematic trading experience, Advanced statistics/probability theory for markets, Financial data pipelines and tick-data processing, Experience with Ray or distributed computing frameworks at scale, Domain knowledge of trading models or market microstructure
