He initially joined the French buy-side firm in 2022 as a trading engineer, before becoming an equity quantitative analyst, and later stepping up to his most recent position as an electronic trader and data scientist.
Previously in his career, he worked as a quantum computing researcher at IBM.
Bernstein confirmed de Miguel’s appointment when contacted by The TRADE.
The appointment comes following a series of significant news for Bernstein in recent months. In January, the firm confirmed that it is currently in negotiations to cut a significant number of roles from within its French office.
The move concerns up to 28 roles, with no forced redundancies, The TRADE understands.
