This hedge fund job, for an immediate hire, is with a new fund with offices in Greenwich, CT and New York City. The post is a bit slim on detail (qualifications, responsibilities, trading strategies, technologies, &c) compared to other job descriptions for quant jobs. That probably means the firm is interested in talking to more, rather than fewer, candidates, and probably indicates an entrepreneurial environment where a wider, rather than narrower, skill set will be appreciated. The hiring firm’s focus on distressed investing represents a current trend in hedge fund launches.
