What We Offer

We are committed to creating an environment where talented traders can thrive. We provide the tools, support, and financial incentives necessary for success.

  • Competitive PnL Share We offer an above-market payout structure designed to generously reward strong performance. We believe that you should earn a significant share of the profits you generate, and our terms are both flexible and negotiable for top-performing strategies.

  • Path to Leadership For high-impact contributors, we offer a clear path to leadership roles within our growing quant division. This is a unique opportunity for those interested in not just trading, but also in building and leading a world-class team.

  • Autonomy & Support We empower you to focus on what you do best—trading. You will have full ownership of your strategy and research without rigid top-down bureaucracy. Our role is to provide the capital, infrastructure, and collaborative support you need to succeed.

  • Tier-1 Trading Infrastructure Gain a competitive edge with access to our top-tier technology stack, built for performance and scale. This includes low-latency infrastructure, direct market access (DMA) to major exchanges, and dedicated engineering resources.

  • Collaborative & Flat Structure We foster a non-siloed environment with direct access to senior traders, engineers, and leadership. This open communication culture accelerates development, encourages knowledge sharing, and helps solve complex problems faster.

  • Relocation to Dubai For successful candidates interested in joining our main office, we provide a comprehensive relocation package to facilitate a smooth transition to Dubai for you and your family.

Technical Requirements & Expectations:

  • Experience with ML pipelines and MLOps tools
  • Familiarity with tools like Kedro, Optuna, and orchestration systems
  • Capable of working with clusters for training and deploying models
  • Comfortable structuring workflow from data cleaning to production-ready pipeline
  • Skilled in automation tools for efficient, reliable model deployment
  • Able to work independently with minimal onboarding support

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Brings a ready-to-trade proprietary strategy
  • Demonstrated live trading experience with proven profitability metrics (PnL history, risk metrics, win rate)
  • Strong technical understanding of market microstructure, execution optimization, and infrastructure demands (latency sensitivity, tick-to-trade, co-location benefits)
  • Ability to clearly articulate infrastructure, connectivity, and operational needs
  • Comfortable working independently, while being ready to collaborate with our engineering and devops teams for optimization
  • Strong preference for candidates with crypto trading experience (Binance, Bybit, OKEX, etc.); traditional market experience is welcome if the strategy is adaptable

Additional details:

– This role reports directly to the Managing Partner/Head of Trading, offering tremendous growth opportunities.
Rust knowledge is a strong plus.
– Expertise in applying AI tools to finance is an edge
– Preference for candidates in the Dubai timezone, with an even stronger preference for those based in Dubai.
– Good English is a plus, but day-to-day most team members speak Russian
