Immediate Start - Quant Researcher – Systematic Commodities Hedge Fund

Moreton Capital Partners is rapidly expanding and seeking a talented Quantitative Researcher to join us in our Mexico City office to sit alongside a world class, international team.

This is a high-impact role from day one. You'll take full ownership of designing, testing, and refining the next generation of alpha signals in commodity futures, with your models feeding directly into live trading portfolios. Our research is grounded in advanced machine learning, robust testing frameworks, and deep expertise across global commodity markets.

We're looking for someone ready to hit the ground running and available to start immediately. In return, we offer a competitive salary, substantial performance share, comprehensive benefits, incredible work environment and a relocation package to make the move seamless.

Key Responsibilities

  • Research, prototype, and validate systematic trading signals across commodities using advanced ML methods.
  • Design and implement rigorous backtests with realistic frictions, walk-forward validation, and robust statistical tests.
  • Engineer and evaluate novel features from prices, fundamentals, positioning, options data, and alternative datasets (e.g., satellite, weather and global commodity cash pricing).
  • Blend multiple alpha forecasts into meta-models and portfolio signals, leveraging ensemble and Bayesian methods.
  • Develop portfolio construction and optimization techniques and analysis tools to be able to enhance performance and track effects on portfolio execution.
  • Collaborate with developers to transition research into production-ready strategies.
  • Monitor live performance, attribution, and model drift, ensuring continual improvement of the alpha library.

Requirements

  • Masters or PhD in either Statistics, Economics, Computer Science.
  • Strong background in machine learning and statistical modelling (tree-based models, regularization, time-series ML).
  • Proficiency in Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGboost, PyTorch/TensorFlow).
  • Understanding of time-series forecasting, cross-validation techniques, and avoiding look-ahead bias.
  • Academic experience in research and proven ability to translate academic work to production code.
  • Prior exposure to systematic trading or financial modelling.
  • Ability to design experiments, interpret results, and iterate quickly in a research environment.

Bonus points for:

  • Knowledge of commodities (agriculture, energy, metals) or macro markets.
  • Experience with feature engineering on non-traditional datasets (options positioning, weather, satellite).
  • Experience collaborating in version control environments.
  • Familiarity with portfolio optimization, risk parity, or Bayesian model averaging.
  • Publications, Kaggle competitions, or research track record demonstrating applied ML excellence.

Benefits

  • Direct impact: Your alphas will go live into production portfolios, with real capital behind them.
  • Research-first culture: We value deep thinking, novel approaches, and systematic rigor.
  • Close collaboration across a global team.
  • Career growth: Clear trajectory to senior researcher roles as we scale AUM and expand product lines.
  • Attractive compensation: Highly competitive base salary and annual bonus that scales as the business grows.
  • Relocation package to our Mexico City office, along with a competitive benefits offering that includes health and life insurance, a year-end bonus, and generous paid time off.
  • Positive, inclusive and encouraging work environment.
