Clients experience hyper-personalized investment management with unmatched transparency and convenience.

Compensation Highlights

  • Top-of-market cash compensation (₹50L - ₹1Cr PA)
  • Free access to Stellar's employee-only investment fund

Role Description

We are recruiting for versatile Founding Quant Research Engineers to drive the full R&D cycle of Stellar’s investment systems. This is a hybrid role that combines financial intuition, modeling depth, and engineering execution :

Research & Modeling

  • Develop advanced models for low-frequency predictions of returns and risks (primarily Indian equities, but including other asset classes)
  • Build hyper-personalized portfolio optimizers compatible with various benchmarks, constraints, and financial goals-based objectives
  • Drive continuous improvement of alpha generation and capacity expansion
  • Collaborate with the founder, product, and growth teams to align research output with company goals
  • Systems & Development

  • Build scalable quantitative investment and wealth-management systems, including robust data pipelines and proprietary alternative data integrations
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive platforms for alpha research, backtesting, and live experimentation
  • Own DevOps and infrastructure practices, ensuring auditability, reliability, and security of data flows and execution systems
  • Continuously leverage AI assistance to boost creativity and product velocity
  • Preferred Background

  • Experience : 5+ years in low-frequency quant research and / or engineering
  • Education : Strong academic background from premier institutions in financial engineering / mathematics / computer science, or related quantitative disciplines
  • Prior Roles : Quant investing funds or fast-paced startups
  • Mindset : AI-native productivity, end-to-end ownership, and bias toward shipping
  • Or something untraditional that trumps all of the above
  • Stellar Culture

    Fulfilment through the best work of our lives

    Pursuit of Excellence

    We are not a family; we are a high-performance sports team- and our sport is solving users' problems

    Talent Density

    We prefer to hire one AI-augmented superhuman over five average players- that's why we offer top-of-market compensation and free access to the employee-only fund

    Relentless Innovation

    Dare to solve daunting problems with first principles thinking, multidisciplinary ingenuity, resourcefulness, and grit

    The Fast and The Curious

    The speed of execution and improvement matters more than perfection

    Radical Candor

    Being kind is more important than being nice- say what people need to hear, not what you think they want to hear, and actively seek feedback

    Truth Alone Triumphs

    Change your mind when the facts change, and don't fool yourself with vanity metrics (Delulu is not the solulu)

    Pride in Craftsmanship

    What we build ends up building us- this is more than "just work"

    Fewer Rules Rule

    Thrive in freedom by being self-motivated, taking ownership, and always acting in Stellar's best interests
