We’re an early-stage startup building a next-generation AI-driven trading platform focused on systematic and high-frequency strategies. The vision is to create a self-improving trading intelligence that can adapt, learn, and compound edge over time. We’re bootstrapping with proprietary capital and running lean until we establish a live track record.
The Role
We’re looking for a Quantitative Research Lead to join as a Co-Founder. This is not a salaried job. It’s an equity-based role for someone who wants to be part of building a venture from the ground up. You will be responsible for leading quantitative research and shaping the technical roadmap. That means you won’t just write models, you’ll set the agenda for how research, infrastructure, and data need to come together for us to succeed.
Responsibilities
If you’re driven to build, want to take your quant skills beyond research into creating a company of real value, and are excited by the idea of being a founder rather than just an employee, we'd love to connect. Please reach out with your background, research interests, and why this opportunity excites you.

Responsibilities
- Lead research and development of systematic and high-frequency trading strategies
- Define the research stack: what tools, data, and processes are required for success
- Build and test signals across microstructure, statistical patterns, and event-driven data
- Run rigorous backtesting and stress testing, with a focus on robustness and risk controls
- Translate research into practical, executable strategies in live trading environments
- Help shape the company’s long-term direction as a core member of the founding team
- Advanced degree (or equivalent experience) in a quantitative field: math, stats, physics, CS, or finance
- Strong background in systematic trading, statistical modeling, or machine learning applied to markets
- Proficiency in Python, C++, or similar, with experience handling high-frequency or tick-level data
- Understanding of risk management, backtesting methodologies, and avoiding overfitting/data leakage
- Entrepreneurial mindset: ability to operate with limited resources, move fast, and iterate
- Drive to lead, not just contribute. This role is about ownership and vision as much as execution
- Founding-level equity (not salary at this stage)
- A chance to define and lead the quant pillar from the ground up
- Direct impact on strategy, execution, and company direction
- Full ownership of the quant research pillar, with freedom to innovate
- The opportunity to build something meaningful with long-term upside
