Location: New York

About Us

We are a funded, early‑stage trading firm building the next generation of institutional on‑and off‑chain trading infrastructure.

Our lean, senior team operates across multiple regions — combining quant research, execution engineering, and liquidity innovation.

We are scaling rapidly across crypto, commodities, and FX, building systems that bridge traditional and decentralized markets.

What You’ll Do Execution Systems & Infrastructure

  • Design and build Order Management (OMS) and Smart Order Routing (SOR) systems across centralized and decentralized venues.
  • Integrate exchange, OTC, and DeFi liquidity into unified execution pipelines.
  • Develop real‑time monitoring, connectivity, and failover frameworks for multi‑venue trading.

Algorithmic Strategy Development

  • Build, test, and deploy execution algorithms (TWAP, VWAP, liquidity‑seeking, adaptive market‑making).
  • Conduct transaction cost analysis (TCA), market impact, and slippage analysis to optimize fills and routing.
  • Combine alpha signals and market microstructure models into execution logic for automated decision‑making.

Quant Research & Analytics

  • Develop pricing, liquidity, and risk models across spot, forwards, and derivatives.
  • Create simulation and backtesting frameworks for strategy validation.
  • Enhance proprietary analytics libraries for volatility estimation, forward curves, and stress testing.

Collaboration & Integration

  • Work with traders and engineers to deploy research into production‑grade systems.
  • Enhance historical replay engines, real‑time data ingestion, and performance dashboards.
  • Research cross‑market correlations, arbitrage, and structured liquidity opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

  • Education: MSc/PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or Financial Engineering.
  • Markets Expertise: Experience in FX, commodities, or crypto (spot and derivatives).
  • Programming: Strong Python for modeling; C /Rust/Java for performance‑critical systems.
  • Systems Thinking: Experience with OMS/PMS architecture, FIX APIs, and market microstructure.
  • Quant Foundations: Time‑series modeling, stochastic processes, and pricing/risk analytics.
  • Mindset: Ownership‑driven, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑impact environment.

Bonus Points

  • Experience at a prop shop, hedge fund, or electronic trading desk.
  • Knowledge of low‑latency architecture, exchange connectivity, and real‑time data pipelines.
  • Familiarity with AWS / cloud orchestration and distributed compute.
  • Experience with execution benchmarking and cross‑venue liquidity models.

Why Join Us

  • Build the Core: Architect the execution stack powering institutional‑grade trading.
  • Cross‑Asset Exposure: Crypto, FX, commodities, and tokenized assets.
  • Direct Impact: Design, ship, and measure systems that drive real trading performance.
  • Collaborative Culture: Work with experienced quants, traders, and engineers globally.
  • Innovation‑Driven: Push the boundaries of liquidity, compute, and market structure.
