  • Data Analysis & Signal Generation

    Process and analyze large-scale datasets, including tick-level market data, on-chain data, and alternative data sources, to uncover actionable trading signals.
  • Financial Market Research

    Continuously study financial theory, market microstructure, and emerging research to enhance strategy robustness under volatile and stressed market conditions.
  • Performance Monitoring & Optimization

    Monitor live trading performance, analyze execution quality, and iteratively refine strategies to adapt to changing market regimes.

Requirements

  • Experience

    Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in quantitative research or systematic trading, preferably within cryptocurrency or international futures markets.
  • Education

    Master's degree or Ph.D. in a quantitative discipline such as Computer Science, Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Statistics, or equivalent exceptional industry experience.
  • Technical Skills

  • Strong experience with Machine Learning and Deep Learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch
  • Solid understanding of financial time-series modeling and data-driven strategy design
  • Quantitative Foundation

    Deep knowledge of statistics, probability theory, financial mathematics, and quantitative modeling.
  • Communication

    Fluent in English with the ability to clearly explain complex quantitative concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

90-Day Objectives

  • Deliver at least one production-ready trading strategy or research pipeline.
  • Contribute meaningful improvements to existing strategy performance or robustness.
  • Demonstrate strong ownership of research ideas from hypothesis to backtesting and evaluation.
  • Integrate seamlessly with engineering and trading teams to support live deployment.
