Job Description

We're building a team of top performers who thrive on solving hard problems, value precision and creativity, and are driven by results. You'll be joining a fast-paced setup that prizes autonomy, sharp thinking, and continuous learning.

Who You Are:

  • You bring a deep academic foundation in a technical or quantitative subject—think Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Statistics, Mathematics, or a closely related area. While a Ph.D. is a strong asset, we also welcome standout candidates with Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees who have demonstrated exceptional capability.
  • You have a proven track record of pushing the boundaries in your field—whether through novel research, impactful projects, or real-world applications.
  • You’re fluent in at least one major programming language used in data science or systems development (such as Python or C++), and you’re comfortable writing efficient, clean code.
  • You think critically, adapt quickly, and approach challenges with creativity and focus.
  • You’re passionate about learning, iterating, and continuously improving your skills and impact.
  • You enjoy working in close collaboration with others and thrive in environments where ideas are rigorously tested and debated.
  • Experience in applied research—especially in tech or finance—is a bonus.
  • While previous exposure to trading or crypto is helpful, it’s not a requirement. We value sharp thinkers who are eager to learn the domain.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and testing systematic trading strategies focused on digital assets.
  • Applying modern statistical and machine learning techniques to uncover market inefficiencies.
  • Exploring and evaluating new datasets to extract actionable signals.
  • Collaborating with other researchers and engineers to improve models and infrastructure.
  • Taking your research ideas from prototype to live deployment and receiving immediate feedback from real-world performance.
  • Contributing to the ongoing development of the research and trading platform.

Why Join Us:

  • Work directly with experienced professionals from the forefront of quant finance and blockchain.
  • Be part of a flat, merit-based culture that values ideas, execution, and impact over titles.
  • See your work go live and deliver results in production—not in slides or whitepapers.
  • Grow rapidly alongside a high-caliber team in one of the most dynamic areas of finance.
