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.
