About the role
About the role
Theia Insights builds foundational financial intelligence products, including industry classification, knowledge graphs and factor risk models, for institutional investors. We serve some of the largest asset managers, hedge funds, index providers and sell-side banks. As a quant engineer on the Data Products team you'll build and run the models behind our Thematic Factor Risk Models (TFM): decomposing stock returns into thematic and traditional risk factors, back-testing methodologies and turning research into daily production output alongside our economics team. The Data Products team owns the data that underpins everything we sell. It's a small, senior group that values correctness and reproducibility over volume, and it sits close to the product leads who shape the methodology.
What you'll do
- Develop statistical models of stock price movements and estimate the performance of thematic trends.
- Construct and back-test factor risk models, decomposing stock returns into thematic and traditional risk factors.
- Design and validate signal-generation and portfolio-attribution methodologies in collaboration with the economics team.
- Make research reproducible, so that any published output can be re-run exactly, including after backfills and restatements.
- Work with the pipelines team to take modelling decisions into daily production.
