Career Opportunities

Variant Perception works with the most sophisticated investors and funds. We are a small team by design and our investment philosophy is "man plus machine beats man or machine alone". 

Our investment process is empirical and repeatable, which means we use a lot of data and build code-based models to scale our research to cover many markets and asset classes. We are known for building innovative models and producing outstanding analysis.

We follow a rigorous and repeatable process across all business functions. We are always looking for self-motivated individuals to join the team. If you can add value in client relations, research or engineering, please email us at recruiting@variantperception.com. Send us your resume and be specific about how you can add value.
