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. Who they're looking for A rigorous, empirically-minded researcher who loves noisy data and sharp questions. Strong in Python and/or C++, fluent in stats and optimisation, and able to take an idea from hypothesis to production without hand-holding. PnL track record, olympiad pedigree, or world-class academics — any of the three lands. 2–7 years is the sweet spot, but they hire for slope, not seniority. If you want to do real research in markets that still pay for it — get in touch.

The setup: a HFT prop firm, building an ML-driven mid-frequency (mins>hours) global equities team, hiring in London. Central team (building globally across APAC, EU & US), firm-level commitment, not a pod, not a multi-manager. The team lead came out of one of the best firms in the business at this (you'll have to get in touch to find out which one...). The hire(s) they're looking to make are "T-shaped": • Deep specialty in one of: modern ML architecture (PhD-levels-of-depth, not "I ran XGBoost once"), MFT alpha research (order-book imbalance, signal decay, actual trading-aware intuition), or portfolio construction. Plus enough breadth in the other two to hold your own in the room. It's a small team, with big ideas, and needs people who are hands on and comfortable working across different verticals., • Startup ethos. If your instinct when you need a piece of code is "I'll wait for someone to build it," this isn't the seat. If it's "I'll just build it myself this week, then test my idea," it probably is., • Demonstrable ship history. A strategy that went from your head to live PnL, not something you maintained, improved, or co-owned with four other people. People who probably aren't in the sweet spot: • Narrow trade-experts. Five years on one strategy with the rest of the stack handled by someone else doesn't transfer to a team this small., • Comp-first candidates. Package is competitive, but if your first question is what the guarantee looks like, you're probably optimising for the wrong thing. First movers on something like this get outsized upside if it works. Location: London There aren't many teams right now who can credibly offer "MFT ML research built on a world-class HFT execution stack" as the proposition. Even less that can offer that as part of a genuine start-up business within an already successful, capital unconstrained prop firm expanding into new markets and at the start of a very ambitious, very achievable growth story. If you're a couple+ years into a big-firm seat and find yourself more resentful than energised by the size around you, it's probably worth a conversation. ben@augmentti.com

Location: Hong Kong - relocation package on offer - industry experience required A leading proprietary trading firm in the crypto space is searching for an experienced Senior AWS Engineer/Architect to own and evolve its global trading infrastructure. The team operates at the cutting edge of high-frequency trading, processing billions in daily volume across venues worldwide. What you’ll do • Design and optimize multi-region AWS architectures to support ultra-low latency systems., • Engineer high-throughput data pipelines and automate large-scale deployments., • Deep-dive into Linux networking and system tuning for maximum performance., • Partner with developers and quants to align infrastructure with trading strategies., • Drive infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and security best practices across the platform. What we’re looking for • 8+ years in AWS architecture/engineering with production-grade systems., • Expertise in Linux internals, networking, and large-scale system optimization., • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash) and hands-on IaC experience (Terraform/Ansible)., • Background in trading, HFT, or other ultra-low-latency environments is highly valued. Why apply? Be part of a performance-driven, flat-structured team shaping the future of crypto trading. Work on problems where nanoseconds matter, using AWS at true scale. Competitive compensation, relocation support, and a role at the frontier of financial markets.

We’re partnering with a research-led quantitative hedge fund deploying systematic absolute-return strategies in digital asset markets. The focus is medium-frequency, signal-driven research with disciplined portfolio construction and institutional-grade risk management. This is not a latency, market-making, or benchmark-aware environment. Performance is defined by robust, risk-adjusted alpha generation across market regimes . The Opportunity You will operate as a true alpha researcher — owning ideas from hypothesis through to production — within a collaborative, high-conviction research team. Scope includes: • Designing and validating systematic signals grounded in economic or behavioural rationale, • Rigorous time-series research with explicit regime awareness, • Portfolio construction and capital allocation within an absolute-return framework, • Building robust, production-grade research code and infrastructure, • Contributing to risk controls that prioritise drawdown management and capital efficiency Researchers are expected to consider edge durability, capacity constraints, and cross-regime robustness, rather than focusing on backtest optics. Profile Sought Absolute-Return DNA • Experience researching or trading systematic strategies targeting positive P&L independent of market direction, • Clear understanding of risk-adjusted performance metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, drawdown control, tail exposure), • Evidence of taking signals from research to live capital allocation, • Appreciation for portfolio interaction effects and capital efficiency Quantitative Depth • Strong statistical foundations (inference, regression, hypothesis testing, time-series modelling), • Sound judgement around machine learning — when it adds value and when it does not, • High standards around data integrity, leakage prevention, and experimental design, • Ability to distinguish structural edge from noise Engineering Maturity • Advanced Python in a research production environment, • Writes clean, testable, version-controlled code, • Comfortable operating in shared research infrastructure Background • 3–8 years in systematic buy-side research, quant hedge funds, or equivalent alpha-focused environments, • Candidates from discretionary macro, long-only, pure HFT/market-making, or crypto-only backgrounds without systematic alpha research experience are unlikely to be a fit, • Advanced degree (MSc/PhD) in a quantitative discipline strongly preferred This is a role for researchers who think in terms of risk capital, robustness, and long-term edge persistence — not model complexity for its own sake
