INTRODUCTION
Love sports? Love data? We're looking for a Junior Quantitative Trader to help build the models and strategies that drive trading performance. This isn't a role where you'll spend months researching in isolation. You'll be identifying edges, helping to build predictive models, automating processes, and seeing your work impact live markets in real time. You'll work with large datasets, help develop trading strategies, and collaborate with traders and developers to continuously improve performance. Python, R, and SQL will be your tools. Statistics, curiosity, and problem-solving will be your edge.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
They are looking for a junior person between 1 and 4 years of experience, but you will need to have worked in quantitative research, trading, data science, or another highly analytical environment. Experience in sports, betting, prediction markets, trading, or market data is a plus, but not essential. The team is ambitious, collaborative, and obsessed with getting better every day. If you enjoy competition, ownership, and turning data into profit, you'll fit right in.
COMPENSATION
- Base salary up to $150k + bonus

Entry Level Quantitative Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level quantitative job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for demonstrated analytical ability over years of experience. A portfolio of personal projects, coursework in statistics or programming, and at least one internship or research position signal readiness. Proficiency in Python, R, or SQL is often the deciding factor, and candidates who can walk through a modeling problem clearly in an interview consistently stand out from the applicant pool.
Which companies hire entry level quantitatives?
Companies hiring entry level quantitatives right now include Akuna Capital, JPMorganChase, and Point72, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of employers, including financial services firms, technology companies, and consulting groups that run structured analyst or associate programs designed to develop junior talent from the ground up.
Are there remote entry level quantitative jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles still make up the majority at this experience level. About 14% of entry level quantitative openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who need flexibility do have real options. Hybrid arrangements are more common than fully remote at the junior level, as many employers prefer some in-person time for onboarding and mentorship.
Are these new grad quantitative jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior quantitative roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or research toward that threshold, or accepts a strong portfolio in place of full-time history. If a role lists a degree requirement but no minimum years, it is almost always open to new grad applicants.
Which industries hire the most entry level quantitatives?
Entry Level quantitative roles concentrate in Investment & Asset Management, Banking & Financial Services, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive junior hiring because they generate large volumes of structured data that require analytical talent at every level, and they tend to run formal new grad or analyst programs that are explicitly designed for candidates entering the field for the first time.
