We are looking for a credit analyst to join the Convertible Arbitrage team within Derivatives and Relative Value (DRV), a modeling team that aims to expand the spectrum of asset classes and strategies used for systematic investment management at Two Sigma.

Our goal is to apply Two Sigma's data science and systematic trading expertise to convertible arbitrage, and this role will bring fundamental credit expertise to that effort.
