We have a singular focus on empirical research and the proficient application of the scientific method. Due to the nature of researching data in financial markets, Fortage’s researchers are mostly drawn from quantitative backgrounds that require expertise in working with large datasets with low signal-to-noise ratios, such as machine learning, cosmology, statistics, particle physics – all with a distinct focus on practical application.

At Fortage, we think who you are makes you better at what you do
Fortage relies on teams coming together collaboratively to work on complex, large-scale projects. As a result, our working practices are designed to encourage the flow of ideas.
As we use advanced investment technology, we emphasise on careful and considered decision-making, with statistical inference from empirical evidence trumping theories and opinions.
We take pride at looking after our people, and we offer competitive compensation schemes, an engaging working environment, training and development opportunities, and comprehensive benefits packages.

Meaningful work, meaningful relationships
For us, it’s about bringing together people who make things possible for our clients.
If you’re someone who enjoys creating innovative ways to reach ambitious goals, who is open and energized by receiving honest feedback, and who likes asking and being asked “why?” — then we should talk. We don’t just look for people who can do a particular job. We look for people we want to share our lives with.
At Fortage you’ll find sharp minds, strict ethical standards, and a precise approach to solving problems. Joining our team means you’ll be working with a complex, creative, socially conscious, and occasionally nerdy set of individuals. Here we thrive on differences – in experiences, ideas, and ways of thinking. No matter where you’re coming from, we welcome exceptional applicants of all types to join our team.
