Quant Researcher / Strategy Developer

We are hiring a quant researcher and strategy developer for our DeFi hedge fund: a strong programmer with a research mindset and a solid grasp of finance.

You will come up with strategy ideas on your own, work out their economics, test them, and get them into production. The role runs from the first hypothesis all the way to live code.

What you will do

• Originate strategy ideas and work out how, and why, each one makes money.
• Gather the data and calculate returns after fees and borrowing costs.
• Check your assumptions, find the weak spots, and improve the strategy.
• Write code to test hypotheses and automate strategies, then take them into production.
• Dig into products you have not seen before and back up your conclusions with a clear argument.

What we are looking for

• Deep understanding of DeFi. You know how protocols work, where yield comes from, what risks sit behind it, and when a strategy works and when it stops working.
• Solid grounding in traditional finance. Bonds, interest rates, lending, and derivatives. You understand how these mechanics carry over to DeFi and how market conditions affect strategies.
• Strong programming skills. You know Solidity, can read and pick apart smart contracts, work with on-chain data, and write code to test hypotheses and automate strategies.
• A hands-on approach to research. You do the work yourself, from raw data to a return figure you would defend.
• Independence and curiosity. You spot opportunities yourself and do not wait to be handed a problem.
