Fundamental Equities AI Engineer - London

A CAREER BUILDING AI WITHIN POINT72’S FUNDAMENTAL EQUITIES BUSINESS. Fundamental Equities is Point72’s largest and longest-tenured investing business. For more than 30 years, we have equipped our analysts and portfolio managers with the resources, autonomy, and support we believe they need to build exceptional careers that reflect their unique strengths as investors.

We maintain a high bar for hiring and make a deep, long-term investment in our talent—the tenure of our people reflects our focus on understanding and underwriting process, not just looking at yesterday’s PnL. Steve Cohen started this firm as an equities investor and has maintained a lifelong commitment to helping the best in our industry get even better. We have a strong track record of identifying, supporting, and advancing our homegrown talent—as of this posting, more than half of the PMs launched through our emerging manager program, Point72 LaunchPoint, were previously analysts at our firm. This commitment is further reinforced through dedicated coaching and development programs designed to help accelerate growth at every phase of an analyst’s career.

For people with the passion and drive to become truly great equities investors, Point72 offers an environment unlike any other.

What You’ll Do

• Solve open research problems at the intersection of AI and capital markets for a cross-sector fundamental equities team within Point72.
• Own the full lifecycle of AI products that transform the research process of a fundamental equities team within compliance approved boundaries — from napkin sketch to production system, with tight feedback loops against one of the hardest benchmarks there is: live markets.
• Lead end-to-end product development from ideation and prototyping to deployment and iterative improvement, owning roadmaps and prioritization.
• Architect and orchestrate the systems used in the decision‑making process of experienced investors translating non‑technical requirements to technical ones and stress testing your work against decades of market intuition.
• Act as the lynchpin connecting a fundamental equities team to, and collaborating with, the broader AI resources and engineers within the firm.
• Build infrastructure for reasoning over messy, real‑world data.
• Push the boundaries of what LLMs and neural architectures can do in high‑stakes domains.
• Design rigorous evaluation frameworks for problems without clean labels — build the testing, monitoring, and experimentation infrastructure needed when "accuracy" isn't a well‑defined metric.

At the core of our philosophy is creating an environment where people with smart ideas are given the resources and freedom to bring those ideas into reality – this role is no different.

What’s Required

• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, and a desire to apply them creatively.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a fundamental equities team.
• Strong desire to deliver high quality results in a timely fashion.
• High attention to detail.
• Commitment to the highest ethical standards.

WE TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE

• Private Medical and Dental Insurances.
• Generous parental and family leave policies.
• Volunteer opportunities.
• Support for employee‑led affinity groups representing women, people of colour and the LGBQT+ community.
• Mental and physical wellness programmes.
