Job description

Help shape the future of a benchmark-leading quantitative investment firm.

We've reached the top of one market. Now we're building the next.

We're still small enough that exceptional people shape the future of the business.

You'll work directly with our CEO, CIO and quantitative investment team, where ideas move from research to deployment in days—not years.

You might be a fit if you:

• test ideas because you genuinely want to know.
• replay losing days in your head.
• notice tiny inefficiencies because they bother you.
• hate unexplained variance.
• don't care who found the edge. You care whether it's real.
• You keep score through P&L, not stories.
• Markets occupy your attention when they shouldn't.
• You've probably built strategies nobody paid you to build.

You'll be responsible for:

• Find new sources of edge.
• Test them relentlessly.
• Scale what works.
• Kill what doesn't.

Everything is measured by one outcome:

Does it improve long-term P&L?

About us

We have zero tolerance for:

• Bureaucracy
• Unnecessary Layers
• Politics
• Slow decision-making

We're deliberately building the opposite.

Great ideas don't disappear into committees here. They get built.

The distance between your decisions and their impact is measured in days, not years.

Compensation

Performance matters here. So does sharing it.

Your compensation moves with the value you create.

And if you prove you can think like an owner. Perform like an owner. Become one.

This Isn't For Everyone

We don't want a large team. We want an exceptional one.

We're not here to participate. We're here to win.

This is one of the most competitive industries in the world. Becoming exceptional demands exceptional commitment.

The people who thrive here:

• are obsessed with improving.
• thrive on solving difficult problems.
• can't ignore weak assumptions.
• search for edge because they genuinely love the pursuit.
• Frequently think, there has to be a better way
• hate wasting time on things that don't improve returns.

Long days aren't the goal. Winning is. If trading isn't something you think about outside work, this probably isn't the right opportunity.

If you're ready to prove yourself alongside exceptional traders in one of the world's most competitive environments, we'd like to hear from you.
