Job Description

About the Role

Join an established liquid crypto trading business and help shape its next phase of growth in frontier markets. You'll work on live systematic strategies: signal research, execution, portfolio construction, risk-taking, and post-trade analysis. You'll also explore new markets, products, and strategy areas (adjacent liquid markets, derivatives, volatility, market structure) where the firm can build durable edge.

This is a broad mandate. You'll be part of a high-performing crypto desk with real scope to influence what we trade next.

Responsibilities

Develop, test, and deploy quantitative models (statistical, econometric, ML) with direct PnL ownership
Mine market microstructure, derivatives, and macro data for persistent, monetizable signals
Productionize models and improve execution and research infrastructure
Run backtesting, scenario analysis, and post-trade attribution
Help shape research direction, market selection, and firm strategy

Requirements

2–5 years in quantitative research or systematic trading at a top-tier prop firm, hedge fund, or trading platform
Strong foundations in statistics, probability, ML, or optimization
Track record turning research on noisy financial data into live trading strategies
Strong Python (or similar) skills, comfortable working independently
Top-tier peer group, high ownership mindset, thrives in ambiguity
Previous experience in Tier 1 firms or exceptional education

What We're Looking For

Entrepreneurial researcher who wants a broader mandate, not just a research seat
Strong signal-vs-noise judgement, avoids overfitting and fragile conclusions
Intellectually independent, firm-building mindset, strong communicator
Crypto experience a plus, not required

About Us

A quantitative proprietary trading firm specializing in frontier markets, with substantial AUM, using a quant and fundamentally informed approach to medium-frequency liquid trading. We're focused on markets like early crypto once was: inefficient, messy, under-institutionalized, where strong quant infrastructure creates edge.
