Quantitative Researcher

About us

We're a proprietary trading firm building systematic quantitative strategies in crypto markets. Since 2018, we've been a consistent liquidity provider across major venues, helping markets become more efficient and mature while 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.
