Trader/Researcher, Crypto Stat Arb
Remote
One of the fastest-growing systematic crypto shops around is looking for traders and researchers to run their own book. If you want a real seat with real ownership at a firm that is genuinely going places, read on.
The firm
Founded by an ex-Jane Street founder, with a team drawn from JS, HRT, SIG, Optiver, and Five Rings. The pedigree is the kind you normally only find at the big names, in a shop small enough that you actually matter.
The trajectory
Seven-figure AUM three years ago. Nine figures today. Nine people. That is the kind of growth curve people spend careers trying to catch, and this team has done it from a standing start. The ceiling from here is a long way up.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

The seat
- Run your own independent pod with profit share and full autonomy. Your book, your calls.
- Mid-frequency stat arb, signal horizons of hours to days out to a few weeks.
- Collaborative by design. A tight, high-calibre team that shares rather than siloes.
- They have already paid a seven-figure guarantee to land the right person, so they back conviction with real money.
What we're looking for


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- A track record running or building systematic strategies
- Crypto is ideal, but crypto-adjacent MFT stat arb in EM, FX, or commodities transfers cleanly
- Not a fit for pure ultra-low-latency HFT backgrounds, this is mid-frequency
- Belief in crypto as an asset class. Scepticism doesn't work here
Comp:
- Profit share plus genuine upside, with seven-figure guarantees on the table for the right person.
- Remote works, and they will wait out a non-compete.
