AlgoTrading firm | Remote (EU Timezones prefered) | Full-Time | COO, Technical lead
One and a half year ago, my deep learning crypto algotrading project turned into a prop trading firm.
The long term goal since the beginning is to use the profits to fund ML/AI research.
Our daily volume is around 2-5B per day (1-3% of the overall markets), profits last year was 9 digits, sharpe ratio between 7 and 12, max dd of 10%.
We started as 2 founders and are now a team of 5.
We are looking for the following roles:
- COO: Talk to lawyers and accountants to help us setup the business correctly. Also manage assets custody, compensation, incentives, payroll, bills, taxes...
- Tech lead: Take ownership of our trading engine, understand in detail how it works and make decisions about a refactor or rewrite. Make it robust so that we do not lose 1M when the FTX api goes down. We are open to a rewrite in python, go, rust or C++.
Compensation for either role: 0.5 to 1.5% equity, 0.5 to 1% flat bonus on total profits, 100-150k salary. We also have other bonuses in place for very strong performers.
Tech Stack: ML: python/pytorch/jupyterlab. Engine: typescript/node/postgres/aws
