Qualifications

You have demonstrated a significant impact on a challenging technical problem in a prior role. You can clearly explain your contributions, the difficulties faced, and the outcomes resulting from your work. Your understanding of statistical models extends beyond just using libraries; you grasp the underlying mechanics, customize your solutions to specific challenges, and have developed your own insights into effective methodologies. You could likely pursue a PhD in a technical field but chose to transition into industry. You thrive in ambiguous situations, making progress when the path is unclear, and know when to rely on your own initiative versus when to collaborate with others. You maintain a steady work pace, preferring to release prototypes, evaluate their effectiveness, and learn from the experience rather than striving for perfection. You possess a research-driven mindset, consistently asking the right questions before jumping in. You have successfully built an end-to-end project that reflects your vision, pushing it to be the best it can be, not merely technically interesting or adequate. Proficiency in Python is essential; we will provide you with the necessary knowledge about the horse racing domain.

About the job

Join our innovative team at mustard-systems, where we develop tailored statistical models and probabilistic frameworks that accurately predict horse racing outcomes and optimize trading strategies. Your insights will directly influence our success, determining what to back, when, and how much.

We are seeking a dedicated researcher to become a vital member of our quantitative team. In this role, you will enjoy significant ownership over your projects, making impactful decisions about what you build, how you approach it, and evaluating its effectiveness.

If you have previously tackled challenging technical problems and are eager for more opportunities to apply your scientific problem-solving skills in a high-stakes environment, we want to hear from you.

Your responsibilities will include building and refining our quantitative models. While our primary focus is on custom state space models, probabilistic frameworks, and neural architectures, we are open to exploring other methods if they yield better results. Understanding the data is just as crucial as modeling; you'll need to navigate its complexities and uncover untapped opportunities.

You will be expected to articulate the rationale behind your modeling choices clearly, and we will encourage you to challenge our assumptions as well.

As part of a small, ambitious team, you will grow your understanding of our product and domain, influencing research directions and the business decisions that stem from them. We are looking for someone who identifies problems, crafts solutions, and pursues tangible outcomes, rather than merely completing predefined tasks.

About mustard-systems

At mustard-systems, we are passionate about leveraging advanced statistical techniques to revolutionize the horse racing industry. Our commitment to innovation drives us to create bespoke models that enhance trading decisions and deliver exceptional results.
