Graduate Quant Researcher/Trader

Role Overview

The hiring company is a proprietary trading firm launched in 2022, operating in the digital asset sector. Its trading activity spans several quantitative approaches, including high-frequency market making, cross-exchange funding arbitrage, systematic long/short strategies at medium frequency, and yield-capture opportunities in DeFi. The firm executes across major crypto spot and derivatives markets, as well as decentralized finance venues.

The business is organized into three core streams: HFT market making, systematic mid-frequency trading, and DeFi. Each stream is developed as a leading business in its own right, while also benefiting from shared infrastructure, collaboration, and diversification across strategies. The team works with a strong automation mindset and an internal technology stack that supports risk management, databases, strategy controls, execution, and analytics.

Team

The company’s headcount is 16. The team includes people with backgrounds at firms such as Maven Securities, Radix, Nickel Digital, Tokka Labs, Blocktech, and Tianyan Capital. The company operates from offices in Singapore and Shanghai, and also has team members working fully remotely from different parts of the world.

Growth Plans

The firm has seen strong early success and is now building for the next stage of expansion. It plans to broaden its reach into more trading venues, with a current emphasis on Asia-based crypto exchanges and a near-term push into European and US crypto venues. It also intends to launch market-making activity in CME and US-listed ETFs, which will introduce additional technical complexity.

On the systematic side, the company is extending its mid-frequency strategies into traditional markets to access a wider set of signals and improve diversification through less-correlated alpha. In DeFi, automated trading initiatives are gaining momentum, with plans to allocate more capital across strategies active on both EVM and non-EVM chains.

Graduate Opportunity

The firm is seeking highly capable students for internship and graduate opportunities in its Singapore office. Candidates from any academic background may apply, although there is a clear preference for quantitatively oriented disciplines such as mathematics, physics, computer science, and statistics. Interest in trading is considered an advantage.

The Graduate Quant Researcher/Trader role places you directly at the intersection of research and live market activity. From the beginning, you will work on the trading front line, combining analytical research with real-time execution. The graduate program is structured around training sessions, guided projects, and early exposure to profit and loss responsibility, allowing strong academic talent to be converted into measurable trading impact quickly.

What the Company Offers

• A fast-moving progression path with clear milestones and greater responsibility as performance improves
• Close guidance and mentoring from experienced team members
• A modern, highly advanced technology environment
• A competitive fixed salary along with a transparent performance-based bonus from the first year
