Our mission is to rapidly turn the latest AI breakthroughs into tangible market advantages, and I eagerly anticipate the revolutionary solutions that will emerge from this truly unique endeavour.

“We are delighted to launch XTY Labs and welcome Atlas to the team. This launch is a response to the many queries we have had from exceptional candidates, who may not be ready to take the leap into finance full time.
The program is designed to match the experience of XTX researchers as closely as possible and it’s a fantastic opportunity for some to eventually transition into the core quant team at XTX.
We look forward to supporting and nurturing the AI residents and seeing the developments from XTY Labs in the coming years.”
