## Job description

## About us

We’re a proprietary trading firm building systematic quantitative strategies in crypto. Since 2018, we’ve been a consistent liquidity provider across major venues- helping markets become more efficient and mature, while staying comfortable operating at the frontier as market structure evolves.

Our core strategies span market-making, HFT, and statistical arbitrage. We’re a team of engineers, technologists, researchers, and traders who build end-to-end systems: robust data and research pipelines to uncover edges, and low-latency infrastructure and execution software to capture them in production. We trade at scale (~$1B in daily notional volume) in a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly competitive environment.

We’re looking for the brightest, most driven people to join us- collaborative problem-solvers who want ownership, impact, and the chance to work with a team that brings 100+ years of collective quantitative finance experience.

## About the position

- Conduct data analysis and strategy research to build automated trading strategies
- Work efficiently with large data sets to scale and automate our modelling process
- Create dashboards and frameworks that empower our trading and research teams.
- Translate complex models into high-performance, production-ready code
- Develop "plug-and-play" frameworks to deploy strategy to new tokens and venues
- Interact with our quantitative and trading teams to implement and optimize forecasts and trading strategies
- Build tools to monitor our trading and further improve our logging and monitoring processes

## What we look for

We are looking for a developer who thrives in high-stakes environments and views complex technical challenges as opportunities to innovate. We value builders who are eager to iterate quickly, learn from the market, and contribute to a culture of collective excellence.

The ideal candidate will possess:

- Bachelor's or advanced degree in a technical or quantitative field
- Broad experience with high performance computing
- Strong mathematical intuition and the ability to work with large datasets
- Proficient in Python, experience with C++ preferred
- Comfort working with 24/7 data pipelines including designing and building automated checks, monitoring tools and analytics, and alerts on issues.
- A self-starter who proactively identifies bottlenecks and implements solutions
- A strong interest in crypto market structures and quantitative finance

## Benefits

- Fully paid medical and dental insurance for all employees and dependents
- Competitive 401k match and generous wellness benefits.
- Meals at work and other perks.
