We're building a team of top performers who thrive on solving hard problems, value precision and creativity, and are driven by results. You'll be joining a fast-paced setup that prizes autonomy, sharp thinking, and continuous learning. Who You Are: • You bring a deep academic foundation in a technical or quantitative subject—think Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Statistics, Mathematics, or a closely related area. While a Ph.D. is a strong asset, we also welcome standout candidates with Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees who have demonstrated exceptional capability. • You have a proven track record of pushing the boundaries in your field—whether through novel research, impactful projects, or real-world applications. • You’re fluent in at least one major programming language used in data science or systems development (such as Python or C++), and you’re comfortable writing efficient, clean code. • You think critically, adapt quickly, and approach challenges with creativity and focus. • You’re passionate about learning, iterating, and continuously improving your skills and impact. • You enjoy working in close collaboration with others and thrive in environments where ideas are rigorously tested and debated. • Experience in applied research—especially in tech or finance—is a bonus. • While previous exposure to trading or crypto is helpful, it’s not a requirement. We value sharp thinkers who are eager to learn the domain. What You’ll Be Doing: • Designing and testing systematic trading strategies focused on digital assets. • Applying modern statistical and machine learning techniques to uncover market inefficiencies. • Exploring and evaluating new datasets to extract actionable signals. • Collaborating with other researchers and engineers to improve models and infrastructure. • Taking your research ideas from prototype to live deployment and receiving immediate feedback from real-world performance. • Contributing to the ongoing development of the research and trading platform. Why Join Us: • Work directly with experienced professionals from the forefront of quant finance and blockchain. • Be part of a flat, merit-based culture that values ideas, execution, and impact over titles. • See your work go live and deliver results in production—not in slides or whitepapers. • Grow rapidly alongside a high-caliber team in one of the most dynamic areas of finance.
