A new AI Researcher role focused on LLMs has been posted on the company site.
New role! We're adding people to our LLM team, ASAP.
We already build some of the best models of markets. For LLMs, one must ask in 2026, why another one? We think we have a (unique) story, and are hiring for the full training stack - pre-to-post. Big resources, big ownership.
Positive users praise expansions of LLM teams at firms like HRT for offering unique real PNL feedback in building frontier trading models, while negative users criticize the hiring strategies and question the claims.

I think this is a unique opportunity for top talent. Your resume will be reviewed by my team. We will pay top-tier comp, in cold hard cash, not questionable equity. Our primary focus is on NYC but we are open to LON.

@macrocephalopod 🤣 Evangelion fans do sometimes grow up to be functioning members of society
@HighFreqAsuka seems like the first firm trying to pretrain from scratch an LLM, interesting. as far as I can tell xtx is not doing this?
@PingbangHu I legitimately don’t know what XTX is doing to be honest with you
@HighFreqAsuka Wow this whole time I thought you were just some guy who had an unhealthy relationship with Asuka. But it turns out you’re a successful ML researcher who has an unhealthy relationship with Asuka!
@PingbangHu @HighFreqAsuka Others are doing this
@HighFreqAsuka I think I'm the perfect fit
@HighFreqAsuka why would you start at pretraining and not midtraining?
@sasuke___420 @volatilitynoob Not our usual approach
@HighFreqAsuka @volatilitynoob hi asuka, does HRT want to talk about licensing novel efficiency tech for LLMs?
@circlerotator @iaindunning if u gotta ask
@gpt_alex No
@iaindunning I did apply, but how do I stand out more? If you wanna know abt me https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhishekenaguthi/
@iaindunning Whats the avg rejection time since sending the resume, I’d like to beat this
@iaindunning quant firms training their own llms gotta be my favorite trend of this year
@HighFreqAsuka Is it ok if I’m more of a rei guy?
@iaindunning super cool! I hope you find some great folks

@HighFreqAsuka Built a pocket CIO for our LPs. Sounds interesting
@jaxgriot I think we have been and will continue to be ok, thanks for your concern though!
