The Macro Technology Team is seeking a FX Quantitative Researcher.

The ideal candidate will have a degree in PhD/MSc/BSc in a scientific topic (physics, mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science or similar) as well as:

Expert C++ programmer: we use C++17 and would like to move to C++20. Coupled with the ability to produce well-engineered code. At least 3 years experience working in a team on a large code base, ideally in a quantitative setting, e.g. finance, gaming, industrial automation, machine learning, astrophysics. Interest and expertise in Python; we use Python to wrap our C++ analytics for Jupyter or web portals, orchestrate our components, etc. And/or expertise in delivering complex analytics code into Excel, e.g. xll, Microsoft VSTO, Excel DNA, etc; ideally how to "hack" Excel to get the power of VBA without ever having to go near it. We'd like to see interest in cloud technologies, in particular Docker, Kubernetes, but above all a willingness to pitch in and explore and learn new technologies that will benefit the team. Interest or experience in other languages or technologies a bonus, e.g. C# / .net, functional programming languages, distributed direct acyclic graphs, message queues, SQL and NoSQL databases, etc. Mathematics to at least UK A-level standard: you should be comfortable with matrices, linear algebra, basic probability and statistics, optimization, what a derivative is, etc. If you don't write this kind of code yourself, you will be working with colleagues who do. Experience in finance, specifically knowledge of Interest Rates or FX products


With respect to NY- and CA-based applicants, the starting base pay range for this role is between $220000 and $300000 annually. The actual base pay is dependent upon several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant experience, business needs and market demands. This role may also be eligible for bonus compensation and employee benefits.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
