Build the Future of Investment Technology

About the Role

Diligent Yield is looking for a Junior ML Engineer with strong experience in machine learning, market modeling, or quantitative trading environments. You will work closely with our AI researchers and digital trading agents team to build, optimize, and deploy models that power our investment decision systems across European and global markets.

This role blends applied ML, time-series modeling, signal engineering, and real-market constraints. You'll contribute to our forecasting engines, ML pipelines, and simulation frameworks — and directly influence our trading strategies.

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve ML models for forecasting, classification, and regime detection
• Work with quantitative researchers to integrate model outputs into trading agents
• Implement real-time inference pipelines across multiple asset classes
• Build and maintain backtesting, simulation, and validation tools
• Analyze market microstructure patterns and model behavior under stress
• Contribute to data pipelines, feature engineering, and data-quality scoring
• Monitor model performance and support continuous retraining workflows
• Collaborate across AI, research, and engineering teams to push product boundaries

Minimum Requirements

• 5–7 years experience in ML engineering or quantitative modeling
• Strong Python skills (NumPy, Pandas, PyTorch/TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
• Experience with financial data, trading signals, or time-series forecasting
• Understanding of market structures (equities, ETFs, FX; derivatives is a bonus)
• Practical experience with backtesting frameworks or MLOps pipelines
• Ability to write clean, production-grade code
• Strong analytical mindset and comfort with experimentation

Bonus Skills

• Experience with LLM-based qualitative analysis or NLP models
• Knowledge of reinforcement learning or agent-based systems
• Exposure to execution algorithms or liquidity modeling
• Familiarity with GPU workflows or distributed training
• Experience in fast-paced startups or research environments

What We Offer

• Direct impact on real trading systems and investment decisions
• A modern, AI-native research culture with high autonomy
• Flat structure — your ideas are implemented, not buried
• Fast growth opportunities in a rapidly scaling company
• A chance to shape the future architecture of EU capital markets
