Job Description
Numi is partnered with a fast-growing, live systematic trading firm combining machine learning, proprietary neuroscience-inspired architectures, and high-performance engineering. Backed by top-tier global VC firms, they run live production strategies across multiple venues.
Currently, company operations, treasury, and financial management are handled directly by the founders. They are looking for their first dedicated operational hire to take complete ownership of these functions, systematize them, and build the operational backbone of the firm as it scales.

Trading Ops & PnL
