Senior Trader / Researcher Stat Arb (Crypto)

A high-performing quantitative trading firm — built for frontier markets, the kind most institutional capital still won't touch — is hiring a senior trader/researcher to run stat arb strategies in digital assets.

Not a learn-on-the-job seat. You've already done the hard part: built strategies, managed risk, put up real numbers on a real book at a serious fund.

Why this seat is rare

Frontier markets, institutional rigour. Top-tier quant discipline applied to markets that haven't been arbitraged into oblivion. The structural alpha hasn't disappeared — most firms just aren't equipped to capture it.

Real ownership. A defined mandate, your own book, your own PnL. Not a pod of pods. Not a research-only seat with someone else pulling the trigger.

Crypto as a core competency, not a side bet. The firm trades it because it's where the inefficiency lives. Genuine interest is non-negotiable.

Who they're looking for

A mid-career trader or researcher with stable tenure at a top-tier buy-side fund and a documented track record of generating alpha — meaningful book size, consistent returns, ownership of a clear mandate. Strategy experience directly relevant to stat arb or relative value, not generic arbitrage or directional crypto beta.

Active crypto trading experience ideal. Adjacent backgrounds — FX, commodities, emerging markets — work if there's genuine appetite for digital assets.

If you're currently running a book somewhere serious, weren't planning to leave, but want to know what real ownership looks like in a market that still pays for craft — get in touch.

Highly competitive base plus meaningful PnL share. Fully remote.
