Full Job Description
HEAD OF ALGO TRADING (AI) ABOUT THE ROLE Deeter Analytics is a privately held investment research and trading firm managing ~$500M of its own capital across public markets. After years of discretionary success, we think we have some unique ways of seeing the market and we're now building a dedicated algorithmic effort to turn that edge into systematic, AI-driven alpha. We are hiring a Head of Algo to lead that effort end to end. Reporting to and working directly with the founder and a world-class team, you will take our edge from thesis to a live, iterating mid-frequency (MFT) trading operation, owning the research, the models, the path to production, and the live P&L. This is a hands-on leadership role at the intersection of research and live trading. The emphasis is on AI-native alpha generation, disciplined experimentation, and getting strategies into production quickly, not on a latency-driven systems build. WHAT YOU’LL OWN - Strategy, end to end. Hypothesis generation, signal research, statistical validation, backtesting under realistic assumptions (costs, turnover, capacity, slippage), live deployment, P&L attribution, and ongoing iteration. - The research-to-production pipeline. Signal generation, portfolio construction and sizing, and execution logic: the full path from an idea to a live position. - Two complementary approaches. Developing proprietary models, and leveraging existing frontier AI models, with the judgment to choose the right one for each problem. - Team and collaboration. Building a small, high-caliber team as the effort scales, and working closely with the discretionary, engineering, and data teams. This seat is not siloed. WHO YOU ARE We hire for demonstrated ability and how you think, not for pedigree. You have a track record of building and shipping AI trading systems end to end, and strong quantitative and technical depth, but whether that came from a STEM degree, applied or research work, competitions, or a self-taught path does not matt
