Careers BUILD THE STACK

Work on systems that trade for real.

Small team, full ownership. Everything we run - data, signal, execution - is built in-house, and the people who build it see their work go live in global markets.

Ownership

No layers between you and production. You design it, you ship it, you own how it behaves live.

Feedback

Markets grade your work every day. Ideas are tested against history, then against reality.

Craft

Precision over excess. We hold our code, research, and risk to the same quiet standard.

OPEN ROLES - TRADING FLOOR
Quantitative Researcher
MATHS · STATISTICS
Apply →
What we do

We trade a range of financial contracts - Indian indices, commodities, and global indices - both intraday and positionally. Every strategy we run started as a research idea that survived rigorous testing. This role sits at the source - finding edge and proving it holds.

💰 ₹8-₹36 LPA 🎯 Quant Researcher 📍 Delhi · In-office
What we need
  • Strong options and derivatives knowledge - spread construction, payoffs, and pricing behavior
  • Python proficiency - prototype, test, and validate ideas independently
  • Proven quantitative research background - a track record of building and testing strategies
  • Develop and refine trading strategies from hypothesis to backtest to live
  • Run parameter studies and stress tests to understand market behavior, not just curve-fit results
  • Build allocation and portfolio construction models - position sizing, basket construction, risk-adjusted returns
  • Translate academic research papers and market intuition into testable, implementable logic
  • Partner with the dev team to move validated strategies into production
What we expect

Intellectual honesty above all. A strategy that looks good but doesn't hold up is worse than no strategy. You question your own results before we do, you separate real edge from noise, and you think in outcomes, not hours. Skin in the game - you care whether it actually makes money.

Systems Engineer - Low Latency
CPP · PYTHON

What we do

We trade a range of financial contracts - Indian indices, commodities, and global indices - both intraday and positionally. As we scale, execution speed and system reliability become edge in themselves. This role owns the plumbing that turns a signal into a filled order - fast, and without breaking.

💰 ₹15-₹30 LPA 🎯 Systems Engineer 📍 Delhi · In-office
What we need
  • Design and optimize low-latency trading infrastructure - order routing, market data handling, execution paths
  • Profile and eliminate bottlenecks across the stack - network, memory, compute
  • Build and maintain robust, fault-tolerant systems that hold up in live markets
  • Manage connectivity - exchange APIs, broker integrations, market data feeds
  • Own monitoring, alerting, and failover so problems surface before they cost money
  • Work closely with research and dev to move strategies into production without latency penalty
What we expect

Reliability is non-negotiable - in live markets, a system that's fast but flaky is worthless. You measure before you optimize, you build for failure, and you take capital protection personally. You think in outcomes, not hours, and you're honest when something's fragile before it breaks.

What we do

We trade a range of financial contracts - Indian indices, commodities, and global indices - both intraday and positionally. Behind the trading sits a growing stack of internal tools - dashboards, reporting systems, operations tooling. This role builds and owns the software the firm runs on.

💰 ₹2.5-₹7.5 LPA 🎯 Full Stack Developer 📍 Delhi · In-office
What we need
  • Build and maintain internal tools end to end - dashboards, reporting systems, operations and ops tooling
  • Own both front end and back end - clean interfaces backed by reliable services and data layers
  • Design and manage databases, APIs, and integrations across the stack
  • Turn rough requirements from trading, research, and ops into working software fast
  • Ship reliable, maintainable code - things that run in production without hand-holding
  • Coordinate with research and dev teams to integrate tooling with live trading systems
Good to have

Trading experience - exposure to markets, execution, or trading systems

What we expect

You ship. Working software beats perfect plans, and you'd rather get a usable version in front of the team than polish in isolation. You think in outcomes, not hours, take ownership of what you build, and flag problems early and honestly. You care that the tools actually make the firm faster.

Dev Ops
TRADING · PYTHON

What we do

We trade a range of financial contracts - Indian indices, commodities, and global indices - both intraday and positionally. Live trading depends on infrastructure that stays up, deploys cleanly, and recovers fast. This role owns the systems and pipelines everything else runs on.

💰 ₹2.5-₹7.5 LPA 🎯 DevOps Engineer 📍 Delhi · In-office
What we need
  • Own CI/CD - build, test, and deployment pipelines that ship reliably and fast
  • Manage cloud and server infrastructure - provisioning, scaling, configuration
  • Build monitoring, logging, and alerting so problems surface before they hit live trading
  • Own uptime, backups, and disaster recovery - systems that fail gracefully and come back fast
  • Automate the manual - infrastructure as code, repeatable deployments, no snowflake servers
  • Coordinate with dev and trading teams to keep production stable during market hours
Good to have

Trading or fintech infrastructure experience · Exposure to low-latency or real-time systems

What we expect

Uptime is the job. In live markets, downtime costs money directly, so you build for failure and take capital protection personally. You automate rather than repeat, you measure before you change, and you flag fragility early and honestly. You think in outcomes, not hours.
