About AlgoQuant

At AlgoQuant, were building the future of digital asset management; grounded in rigorous research, world-class technology and a relentless focus on performance.

We began as a proprietary trading firm, developing sophisticated algorithmic strategies and operating in some of the most complex and fast-moving markets. That DNA remains at our core, but today we are evolving into a fully remote, globally distributed investment management business. This transformation reflects a broader ambition: to scale our edge, deliver institutional-grade results, and set new standards for the industry.

Our quantitative environment is built to empower innovation, combining vast data capabilities, disciplined model development, and highly automated execution. Risk is embedded in every layer of our thinking, with robust measurement, control, and scenario analysis integrated into our systems and decision-making. Technology is not just a tool for us, it’s a core competency and a competitive advantage.

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who is highly organized, responsive, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.
