Crypto is the only major asset class left where the microstructure is still being figured out in real time.
A top-tier crypto-native market maker — one of the largest liquidity providers in digital assets across CEX, DEX, and OTC — is hiring a quant researcher to push their HFT alpha stack forward.
Founder-led, founder-funded, no outside capital dictating the roadmap. Game-theoretic DNA in the research culture. A team pulled from elite trading firms, olympiads, and top research institutions — high-talent, low-ego, allergic to politics.
Why this seat is rare
- Pure research. No plumbing, no devops detours. Feature design, model architecture, signal improvement — that's the job.
- Full alpha stack. You'll work from feature engineering through statistical modelling to optimiser tuning. Breadth that's hard to find at firms where the stack has been carved into specialist silos.
- Real feedback loop. They deploy fast. Your work hits live strategies and shows up in PnL the same week — not the same quarter.
- Markets that still reward thinking. Crypto microstructure is fragmented, fast-moving, and full of inefficiencies the TradFi playbook doesn't quite solve. The interesting problems are still on the table.
