    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

    As a quantitative researcher, you will scale our strategies to new markets and pioneer new alpha-generating frameworks from the ground up.

    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

    What We Look For

    We are seeking mission-driven problem solvers who possess intellectual curiosity and analytical rigor required to navigate complex, real-time problems in high-stakes trading environments. 

    The ideal candidate will have:

    • Significant experience required in financial markets, cryptocurrencies, crypto assets, and decentralized finance
    • Deep understanding of varying crypto market microstructure and macrostructure
    • Exceptional quantitative and problem-solving skills
    • Strong team player with excellent communication skills
    • Ability to use advanced statistics, machine learning models to solve practical problems
    • Prior experience working in a data-driven role

    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.

    Location

    We prefer in-person in San Francisco.

    We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or any other applicable legally protected characteristics.
