GOLDDEN VALLEY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT PTE. LTD. Hiring! Full Time Junior Quantitative Analyst (Multi-Strategy) in Central Region (Singapore), Earn up to SGD 4,000 - Ricebowl

About the Role

Goldden Valley Capital Management is a Singapore-based fund manager running multiple systematic strategies — high-frequency trading, arbitrage, CTA, and systematic macro. We are hiring a junior quant to join at the foundation level.

We are not hiring for ready-made quant skills. We are hiring a strong general foundation and a steep learning curve: smart, hard-working, numerically sharp, and genuinely curious about markets. Within your first six months you will rotate across desks — for example factor analysis, backtesting ,and new-signal research on the macro desk; funding-cost reconciliation on the arbitrage desk; live market monitoring on the HFT side. Your permanent seat (Quant Researcher, Quant Developer, or Monitoring Trader) is then decided by two-way selection between you and the desks.

What You Will Do (First 6 Months)

·        Data cleaning, reconciliation, and daily checks— roughly 70% of the early work is unglamorous and must be done fast and done right.

·        Build and maintain monitoring tools and parameter watchlists in Python.

·        Rotate across strategy desks; present findings (e.g., a new-signal writeup) to senior researchers.

·        Take part in an on-call / market-hours duty schedule.

Requirements

·        New graduate or up to 2 years of work experience.

·        Degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, or a related STEM field. Economics / finance backgrounds are also considered where there is clear evidence of systematic, structured thinking.

·        At least one of: quantitative/technical experience (modelling, statistics) or finance experience (macro, fundamental analysis).

·        Working Python; basic Linux and git; comfortable and productive with AI tools. Everything else can be taught.

Who Does Well Here (In Order of Importance)

·        Numerical intuition and a feel for probability. Not exam-smart — instinctive: when you hear a win rate, you ask about the sample size; when you hear "3+ Sharpe", something feels off.

·        Hard-working with fast hands. You have independently built something real in Python that actually runs — a personal project or internship output counts; a stack of course assignments does not.

·        Meticulous and organized. You notice when today's number is different from yesterday's, work through checklists item by item, and never wave things through on "close enough".

·        Genuine interest in markets. You have opened a brokerage account and traded your own money (equities or crypto), lost money at some point, and can walk us through one specific trade and what you learned from it. A generic "passion for quant finance" does not count.

Bonus Points

·        Resilience under pressure and a sense of ownership (on-call duty is part of the job).

·        Ranked results in competitive sports or esports; military service; olympiad or competition records.
