Quant Developer

Skills

About the Role

You will design, build, and operate the strategies behind onchain vault products, taking each strategy from thesis and design doc through implementation, simulation, deployment, and live operation. You will optimize strategies through signals research, execution optimization, gas-aware rebalancing across tokens and chains, and liquidity and duration management. You will run protocol and asset due diligence, evaluating new protocols, collateral assets, and chains for inclusion in strategies. You will own risk parameters such as supply caps, LLTV settings, concentration limits, VaR-based exposure models, and automated de-risking logic. You will integrate new protocols and chains by building and validating adapters for lending markets, DEX aggregators, and bridges, verifying strategy behavior against forked-chain simulation. You will monitor what you build, extend risk-monitoring and alerting systems, and participate in the on-call rotation for the strategies you own. You will also partner with growth, capital markets, and client teams on new vault and strategy launches.
