Careers
Small team. Real markets. Hard problems.
We are a small, focused team building proprietary trading infrastructure for digital asset markets. We value depth over breadth, and conviction over consensus.
Everything is built in-house: signal generation, market making models, options pricing frameworks, execution systems, and the research infrastructure underneath them. That means the distance between an idea and something running in production is short, and the person who had the idea is usually the person who ships it.

Our process
How hiring works
Every application is read by someone on the team the role sits in.
Intro conversation.
Around thirty minutes with a member of that team. What you have worked on, what the role actually involves, and whether the problems are ones you want to spend time on.
Technical discussion.
Depending on the role, this covers market intuition and probability, low-latency systems and engineering, or research methodology. It is a conversation about how you approach problems rather than a set of questions with correct answers.
Final round.
A longer session in London with the people you would work alongside. Expect to go deep on one problem rather than broad across many.
Most processes run two to three weeks end to end. We give a decision after each stage rather than leaving people waiting.
