Role Overview
We're hiring an experienced Quantitative Trader with a demonstrable track record of profitability. This role is ideal for traders with experience in HFT (high-frequency), MFT (medium-frequency), market-neutral, or directional strategies. You will have full ownership over your strategies—from research to execution—with access to capital, infrastructure, and a collaborative environment.
Responsibilities
- Research, build, and deploy systematic strategies across spot and derivatives markets (perpetuals, futures).
- Develop and refine alpha signals, execution logic, and risk management rules.
- Monitor real-time performance and iterate rapidly to improve PnL and Sharpe.
- Work alongside engineers and quants to improve data pipelines, backtesting accuracy, and execution quality.
- Adjust strategies dynamically based on market conditions, volatility regimes, and exchange-specific microstructure.
Must-Have Requirements
- Proven, real-world track record of profitable trading in crypto or traditional markets (please include strategy type, PnL metrics, Sharpe ratio, etc.).
- 2+ years experience designing and trading systematic strategies (quant hedge fund, prop shop, or crypto-native firm).
- Deep knowledge of market mechanics—order book behavior, latency, slippage, and execution risk.
- Strong programming skills (Python, C++, Golang or equivalent), with hands-on experience in backtesting and production deployment.
- Data-driven decision-making with rigorous performance tracking and risk control.
Open to Strategies Including:
- High-frequency and medium-frequency trading across CEXs or DEXs
- Market-neutral arbitrage, basis trading, or spread strategies
- Directional momentum, mean-reversion, or regime-based strategies
- Multi-venue, cross-asset, or volatility-focused approaches
- On-chain signal-driven or hybrid models
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience integrating with exchange APIs (REST/WebSocket) and managing infrastructure for live trading.
- Exposure to DeFi trading and smart contract interactions.
- Understanding of execution algorithms (TWAP/VWAP/POV/custom) and slippage optimization.
- Familiarity with latency-sensitive or co-located trading environments.
What We Offer
- Capital allocation and full autonomy to run and scale your strategies.
- Performance-based comp with strong upside (no cap).
- Access to proprietary infrastructure, market data, and dev support.
- Remote-first team with optional in-office collaboration.
- Flat structure with minimal bureaucracy—your performance speaks.
