About the role
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.

Key job responsibilities include:
- Analyze large datasets to research crypto signals
- Build, back test, and refine trading and hedging strategies across exchanges
- Monitor and analyze model performance in live trading to come up with improvement ideas
- Adapt existing strategies to new exchanges and crypto products
- Conduct research in niche market forces to improve our trading performance

The ideal candidate will have:
- Significant experience required in financial markets, cryptocurrencies, crypto assets, and decentralized finance

- Exceptional quantitative and problem-solving skills

- Ability to use advanced statistics, machine learning models to solve practical problems
