  • Represent RavenPack at industry conferences, developer communities, and client events, translating complex ideas into impactful narratives.
What We're Looking For
  • MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, NLP, Quantitative Finance, or a related field.
  • 3+ years’ experience in quantitative investment strategies from buyside or sell-side, with proven success in ML/NLP-driven initiatives.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise with LLMs, LRMs, and coding assistant technologies.
  • Strong background in alpha generation, time-series modeling, workflow orchestration, and multi-agent LLM architectures.
