Investment Analyst, New Grad

Washington, District of Columbia, United States Overview Company Alphataraxia Management (ATX) is a fast-growing quantitative investment management group with offices in both Washington, DC and Downtown Los Angeles, CA. We specialize in wholesale electricity markets, where extreme volatility is the norm and the marketplace is constantly evolving, presenting new opportunities for growth and insight. We are currently one of the top participants in the power markets and are looking for hard-working candidates with genuine enthusiasm for solving complex problems to join our collaborative and high-caliber team. We love to explain how things work both fundamentally and quantitatively. We build all our own proprietary tools, enabling us to prototype, iterate quickly, and pivot when necessary. We automate as many redundant processes as possible to maximize time spent on analysis, moving with minimal bureaucracy and a high level of ownership. We take immense pride in our company values—we will share more about them here. Job Description We are looking for graduating seniors who enjoy solving complex, real-world problems to join ATX as Analysts. Applicants who are comfortable with numbers, rigorous analysis, and the basics of programming will thrive in our information-rich environment. You will get to: Manage massive amounts of information and come to targeted conclusions about our markets in order to transact. Refine existing investment strategies, and eventually grow to develop and recommend new strategies. Develop and maintain financial models to research and recommend investment decisions. Continuously monitor and evaluate the performance of investment strategies and market outcomes, with an eye toward continuous improvement. Perform data analysis. Conduct market research to develop deep expertise in power production and consumption. Identify emerging market trends and opportunities. Collaborate with team members to develop and implement data-driven solutions. Create detailed reports and presentations to communicate results and recommendations. Analysts can expect intellectual challenges that derive from poorly understood dynamics in our target markets, and they will be critical in scaling the firm’s understanding of how these markets “really work.” A successful analyst will begin by refining existing investment strategies and will grow to develop new strategies.
