01WHY JOIN NORA

In Nora's year,
It is better than the five years of working in an ordinary large factory.

We don’t rely on empty words to attract people. We firmly believe that what truly retains the world’s top geeks and talented researchers are truly challenging and complex problems, sufficient and unlimited computing resources, and outstanding comrades worthy of lifelong companionship.

Original Wall Street institutional methodology

Independent model blind review and verification process, three-layer hard-core risk control limits, event-level nanosecond timestamp audit and playback - these top-level systems and assets that take years to gain access to at the core level of Wall Street investment banks and hedge funds are all open to you from the first day.

Independent model blind review and out-of-sample overfitting testMicrosecond-level three-layer automated risk control and dynamic fuseEvent-level full-fidelity Tick playback and accident tracingStrategies must derive clear mathematical failure boundaries

The stormy waters of the real world

Your code and mathematical model are directly connected to the massive global funds and liquidity 24/7, and every innovation will be tested by the real market.

Computing power and data never line up

Vanka H100 GPU cluster and full-precision level-3 order book data spanning many years are provided on demand to fully support any research breakthrough.

A true transnational vision

New York, Singapore and Japan are linked around the clock across time zones, creating an international working environment and comprehensively improving the global macro-financial landscape.

Transparent and direct high returns

Uncapped strategy PnL dividend pool, early equity options for core backbones, results regardless of length of service, contributions are directly mapped to wealth growth.

Pure and honest engineering culture

We candidly record and review every strategy retracement and occasional system anomaly. At Nora, those who dare to identify problems are always respected the most.

100%No one is responsible for the accident and transparent review rate

Job responsibilities and core challenges
  • Lead signal mining based on time series Transformer and multi-modal market information (news sentiment, on-chain capital flow, L3 order book)
  • Use reinforcement learning (PPO/DDPG) to optimize dynamic position allocation and execution impact costs (Execution Slippage)
  • Build a strict time series feature cross-validation process to strictly control overfitting and look-ahead bias.
  • Write a detailed white paper on the strategy mechanism and derive a clear failure boundary of the strategy in an environment of liquidity depletion and high volatility.
We hope you have
  • Master's degree or above from a top university in applied mathematics, statistics, computer science or theoretical physics
  • Proficient in Python (PyTorch/NumPy/Polars), with a deep understanding of non-stationary time series modeling and modern deep learning paradigms
  • Applicants who have published papers in top conferences such as ICML / NeurIPS / KDD, or ranked among the top in Kaggle / quantitative competitions will be given priority
  • Possess excellent first-principles thinking and have an instinctive awe for the micro-games and real risks of financial markets

04VOICES OF NORA

Hear from frontline colleagues
True voices and transformation.

The new generation of geeks from leading brokerage firms, Silicon Valley technology giants and top universities share their personal gains after joining Nora Quant Lab.

After four full years of self-operated quantification at a leading brokerage, I thought my risk control was mature enough. In the first week of coming to Nora, my strategy plan was asked to add in detail 11 exit conditions under extreme liquidity depletion. At that moment, I deeply understood the confidence of Wall Street’s top institutions to travel through decades. Here, models are not just a money-making tool, but a rigorous science.
