Quant Developer

• Design and ship vault strategies: take a strategy from thesis and design doc through implementation, simulation, deployment, and live operation — RWAs, leveraged lending, yield aggregation, cross-protocol allocation, perpetuals, prediction markets, and new product types we haven't built yet.

• Optimize strategies: signals research, execution optimization, gas-aware rebalancing across tokens and chains, liquidity and duration management.

• Run protocol and asset due diligence: evaluate new protocols, collateral assets, and chains for inclusion in strategies — solvency mechanics, oracle design, redemption paths, liquidity depth, and more.

• Own risk parameters: supply caps, LLTV settings, concentration limits, VaR-based exposure models, and automated de-risking logic that pulls positions when conditions deteriorate.

• Integrate new protocols and chains: build and validate adapters for lending markets, DEX aggregators, and bridges; verify strategy behavior against forked-chain simulation before capital touches it.

• Monitor what you build: extend our risk-monitoring and alerting systems, define the conditions that page someone, and participate in the on-call rotation for the strategies you own.

• Support launches and clients: partner with growth, capital markets, and client teams on new vault and strategy launches.

• A track record of building quantitative systems that run in production — algorithmic trading, portfolio optimization, market making, or risk systems at a trading firm, asset manager, fintech, or crypto-native company. This is often 2–8 years of experience, but we weight what you've built over years on a résumé.

• You write the code behind your strategies. Strong Python and solid software-engineering fundamentals: testing, code review, and the judgment to build durable abstractions rather than one-off scripts. This is a hands-on, quantitative role — not a discretionary trading seat.

• Applied quantitative skills: optimization, statistics, and simulation, and the instinct to validate models against real data before trusting them.

• Comfort with data infrastructure: SQL and experience building or consuming data pipelines.

• Production ownership: you've debugged live systems under pressure and understand that a strategy managing other people's money has to be correct, monitored, and recoverable.

• Clear technical communication.

Bonus points

• Wants end-to-end ownership — research, code, deployment, and the pager — not a hand-off between research and engineering.

• Comfortable that crypto markets don't close. Strategy owners take on-call seriously, and the occasional market-event night is part of the job; we staff and rotate to keep it sustainable.

• Operates well in ambiguity: can take "we should have a strategy for X" and return a scoped design, not a list of questions — and is comfortable in a fast-moving space where priorities and team structure evolve.

• Holds a genuine risk view and voices it — including "we shouldn't do this" when the analysis says so.

• Pragmatic about shipping: balances rigor against client timelines without cutting corners on safety.

• Naturally curious about digital assets and DeFi. Deep crypto experience is not required — curiosity and strong quant fundamentals are.

• Remote first — work from anywhere in the US & Canada

• Regular in-person company retreats and cross-country "office visit" perk

• 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees

• $1,000 WFH stipend

• Monthly reimbursement for home internet, phone, and cellular data
