SeniorRemoteFull-time

About the role

Exent’s edge is the math: risk models, market-regime models and analyst-accuracy research that run on every user’s portfolio.

As a Senior ML Engineer you will research, validate and ship those models, using AI to explore far more ideas than a traditional quant team, and your judgment to keep only what holds up out of sample.

What you’ll do

  • Research and validate models for risk, regimes and signals, with AI agents doing the heavy lifting
  • Design honest backtests: out-of-sample testing, robustness checks, no look-ahead
  • Ship models with monitoring for drift and data issues
  • Explain model behavior clearly, so it can be explained to users
  • Set the bar for what counts as evidence on the team

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years in machine learning or quantitative research
  • Deep experience with time series and financial data
  • Rigorous validation habits and healthy skepticism of your own results
  • Daily use of AI agents in research and coding
  • Experience taking models to production

Nice to have

  • Hedge fund, prop trading or bank quant experience
  • Portfolio optimization and risk modeling
  • A degree in a quantitative field

Stack: Python, NumPy / pandas, AI agents, Postgres, FRED and market data APIs
