  • Drive continuous improvement of alpha generation and capacity expansion

  • 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
