Machine Learning Researcher

I’m recruiting an AI/ML Researcher for a startup based in Tel Aviv.

The company builds machines that find trading strategies. At the core of its work, the team predicts future prices and builds efficient trading systems that can use those predictions. The company takes an ambitious, end-to-end approach—from research and backtesting to production.

Why this role is interesting

This is an opportunity to work on practical financial problems that combine research, machine learning, AI, and production systems.

The role is suited to someone who moves quickly, tests ideas, learns from backtest results and peer feedback, and continues improving without ego. The team is particularly interested in applying LLMs to real financial use cases.

What you’ll do

• Research and develop new ideas for trading systems
• Test ideas through backtesting and use the results to iterate quickly
• Apply AI and LLMs to practical financial problems
• Turn research ideas into working software
• Take responsibility for systems that reach production
• Work closely with peers, receive feedback, and improve continuously

What you need

• Experience in research
• Experience building software or systems with AI
• Background in machine learning
• Strong intuition for numbers, graphs, and basic statistics
• Ability to understand systems and logical arguments quickly
• A fast, practical, and action-oriented approach to problem-solving
• Motivation to take full responsibility for production systems
• A success-driven mindset and the ability to receive feedback without ego
• At least partial completion of a bachelor’s degree

Who will succeed in this role

Someone who thinks fast, understands new ideas quickly, is strong with numbers, and takes action immediately. Someone who comes ready to work, improve, and take ownership.
