One of the fastest-growing systematic crypto shops around is looking for traders and researchers to run their own book. If you want a real seat with real ownership at a firm that is genuinely going places, read on.
The firm is founded by an ex-Jane Street founder, with a team drawn from JS, HRT, SIG, Optiver and Five Rings. The pedigree is the kind you normally only find at the big names, in a shop small enough that you actually matter.
The trajectory has seen seven-figure AUM three years ago grow to nine figures today, with a team of nine people. That is the kind of growth curve people spend careers trying to catch, and this team has done it from a standing start. The ceiling from here is a long way up.
The seat offers:
- Run your own independent pod with profit share and full autonomy. Your book, your calls.
- Mid-frequency stat arb, signal horizons of hours to days out to a few weeks.
- Collaborative by design. A tight, high-calibre team that shares rather than siloes.
- They have already paid a seven-figure guarantee to land the right person, so they back conviction with real money.
What we're looking for:
- A track record running or building systematic strategies.
- Crypto is ideal, but crypto-adjacent MFT stat arb in EM, FX or commodities transfers cleanly.
- Not a fit for pure ultra-low-latency HFT backgrounds, this is mid-frequency.
- Belief in crypto as an asset class. Scepticism doesn't work here.
Compensation includes profit share plus genuine upside, with seven-figure guarantees on the table for the right person. Remote works, and they will wait out a non-compete.
