• Continuously refine methodology to improve robustness
• Collaborate with quant developers to transition research into production

Your work will directly impact live capital.

What We Value

1. First-Principles Thinking

You dont rely on indicators because they work.

You ask:

• What inefficiency am I exploiting?
• Is it behavioral, structural, or microstructural?
• Why should this persist?

2. Methodology Over Excitement

You:

• Write down assumptions
• Define variables clearly
• Control for overfitting
• Document experiments
• Run parameter sensitivity tests
• Test robustness before celebrating results

3. Process Orientation

You can:

• Break a vague idea into a step-by-step research framework
• Structure experiments
• Iterate systematically
• Maintain reproducible workflows

4. Long-Term Thinking

You care about:

• Robustness over curve-fit returns
• Consistency over temporary spikes
• Systems that scale
• Compounding intellectual capital

5. Technical Strength

Strong Python (pandas, numpy, vectorization, data manipulation)

• Comfortable building backtests from scratch
• Ability to handle large datasets
• Familiarity with statistics and probability
• SQL is a plus

You should be able to:

• Write clean, modular research code
• Avoid lookahead bias
• Simulate slippage and realistic execution
• Generate structured performance reports

The Intangible

We are looking for someone with:

• Fire in the belly
• Intellectual honesty
• Curiosity beyond working hours
• The hunger to build something meaningful
• The ambition to push forward with original ideas

What Youll Get

• Direct exposure to live systematic capital
• Freedom to research deeply
• A high-performance environment
• The opportunity to grow into senior research or portfolio roles
• The ability to shape the firms long-term intellectual edge
