Who You Are:

1. 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.
2. You have a proven track record of pushing the boundaries in your field—whether through novel research, impactful projects, or real-world applications.
3. 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.
4. You think critically, adapt quickly, and approach challenges with creativity and focus.
5. You’re passionate about learning, iterating, and continuously improving your skills and impact.
6. You enjoy working in close collaboration with others and thrive in environments where ideas are rigorously tested and debated.
7. Experience in applied research—especially in tech or finance—is a bonus.
8. 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:

1. Designing and testing systematic trading strategies focused on digital assets.
2. Applying modern statistical and machine learning techniques to uncover market inefficiencies.
3. Exploring and evaluating new datasets to extract actionable signals.
4. Collaborating with other researchers and engineers to improve models and infrastructure.
5. Taking your research ideas from prototype to live deployment and receiving immediate feedback from real-world performance.
6. Contributing to the ongoing development of the research and trading platform.

Why Join Us:

1. Work directly with experienced professionals from the forefront of quant finance and blockchain.
2. Be part of a flat, merit-based culture that values ideas, execution, and impact over titles.
3. See your work go live and deliver results in production—not in slides or whitepapers.
4. Grow rapidly alongside a high-caliber team in one of the most dynamic areas of finance.
