Role Title: Rates trader
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
We are engaging experienced Rates traders to participate in a cutting-edge AI-driven project for a leading investment bank’s algorithmic trading desk. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Contributors will evaluate AI agent outputs against genuine market practice and provide specialized insights into rates market structure and trading strategy. Hands-on algorithmic or systematic rates trading background is highly valued but is not mandatory.
Scope of Work
- Assess AI-generated trading strategies and outputs for accuracy, risk management, and market realism across rates products.
- Create and refine representative sample tasks with clear project instructions based on real trading scenarios in the rates space.
- Analyze and provide feedback on AI performance in simulated market conditions, identifying strengths and shortcomings of proposed strategies.
- Offer commentary on how AI strategies align (or misalign) with actual desk practices and market structure.
- Collaborate with project leads and technologists to translate domain requirements into actionable guidance for AI model training.
- Document rationale and communicate findings in written and verbal formats for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Current or former experience as a rates trader at an investment bank, hedge fund, or similar institution.
- Significant practical knowledge of interest rate swaps, swaptions, treasury futures, repo, and Eurodollar/SOFR trading.
- Understanding of rates market structure and trading desk operations.
- Background in algorithmic or systematic trading is highly desirable but not essential.
- Strong skills in evaluating trading risk, quantitative strategies, and market scenario analysis.
- Excellent communication abilities—both written and verbal.
- Discipline and reliability in a remote and collaborative project environment.
Eligibility
- This is a fully remote position, open to candidates based in 55 countries, including United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, India, France, Netherlands, Singapore.
