Careers

We hire agentic quant research engineers who like scoreboards, clean rails, and seeing their solutions deployed. Clear the gates, then deploy.

Ideal profile

  • Python + modern backtesting fluency; strong rigor.
  • Kaggle‑caliber: benchmark‑driven, comfort with public scoring.
  • Agentic workflows (frameworks or custom orchestration).
  • Strong grasp of leakage, CV, and risk discipline.
  • Not discretionary decision-making—this is algorithm and infra building.

Why join vs solo

  • Leverage: infra + data + compute you don't have to build alone.
  • Recognition: scoreboards, gates, and badges for cleared models.
  • Learning velocity: work with peers who ship and scrutinize.
  • Skin in the game: path from proof to deployment.

What you'll build

  • Low‑cost ingestion for external predictions and metadata.
  • Backtest scaffolding with leakage‑aware validation and walk‑forward analysis.
  • Agentic coders that translate scripts/transcripts into strategies.
  • Ranking and deployment gates tied to risk and stability.

Comp & setup

  • Remote. Fast‑shipping startup pace with research‑level rigor.
  • Base is lean; upside is market‑driven via internal signals.
  • No code or strategy leakage; personal projects allowed with rules.
