Clearmatics are looking for a Quantitative Protocol Engineer -Remote/London
Clearmatics is a protocol engineering company. We are building a new financial market architecture that is more open, fair, and resilient than the legacy systems that are in use today. We develop protocols and software that create new markets for risk and more efficient infrastructure for trading, backed by a robust and scalable blockchain network, and secured with modern cryptographic techniques and economic mechanism design.
Clearmatics is based in London but operates on a ‘remote first’ model. We welcome candidates from all over the world. We have close ties to the Open Source and Ethereum communities, with Vitalik Buterin as an adviser.
The Research group at Clearmatics is dedicated to developing solutions to the hard problems needed to advance our mission. We are academics and protocol engineers collaborating with teams inside and outside the company to translate theoretical results into running software implementations. Our work spans cryptography, game-theory, (computer) networking, identity systems and secure software implementation research, with a focus on their domain applications in financial markets.
We’re looking to hire a Quantitative Protocol Engineer to expand our Research team.
We’re looking for someone who will take advantage of modern technology, mathematics, and the availability of comprehensive databases for making sound protocol design decisions. They will bring quantitative analysis methods to the field of protocol engineering.
The ideal candidate must be proficient in mathematics and modelling with strong economics and computer science foundations. The successful engineer will be part of the Clearmatics Research function, will be central to the various computer-aided crypto-economic protocol design tasks, and will collaborate with the Engineering function to translate newly designed mechanisms into new products/features in Clearmatics’s range of protocols.
