Just a focused mission: design and scale world-class trading strategies that win in real markets.
The Role:
I'm looking for a Head of Quantitative Trading to lead their systematic strategies across equities and fixed income. This is a builder’s role hands on, deeply involved, and foundational to their growth. You’ll have a major say in how they research, trade, and scale their edge.

• Help shape a culture that values speed, ownership, and radical honesty
• Stay close to the markets and data we don’t believe in managing from a distance
Who You Are:
• 8–10+ years in quant/systematic trading, ideally with experience in both equities and fixed income

• Start-up minded: fast learner, adaptable, and you know how to make things happen without layers of process
• Collaborative but opinionated; you bring your own views, and you love the friction of good ideas
