  • You are comfortable working with data; strong SQL and Python skills are a significant asset.
  • You speak and write in English fluently.
  • You have the ability and desire to travel for training and knowledge sharing.

What we are offering:

  • Trade your strategies with our platform behind you — direct support from a desk of analysts, engineers, and quants dedicated to helping you find and scale your edge.
  • A competitive base salary, plus performance-based compensation tied to your P&L 
  • 401(k) with company match
  • A comprehensive group insurance plan
