Quantitative Researcher

Midpoint Markets

About Us

We’re a proprietary trading firm building systematic quantitative strategies in crypto. Since 2018, we’ve been a consistent liquidity provider across major venues- helping markets become more efficient and mature, while staying comfortable operating at the frontier as market structure evolves.

Our core strategies span market-making, HFT, and statistical arbitrage. We’re a team of engineers, technologists, researchers, and traders who build end-to-end systems: robust data and research pipelines to uncover edges, and low-latency infrastructure and execution software to capture them in production. We trade at scale (~$1B in daily notional volume) in a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly competitive environment.

We’re looking for the brightest, most driven people to join us- collaborative problem-solvers who want ownership, impact, and the chance to work with a team that brings 100+ years of collective quantitative finance experience.

About the position

As a quantitative researcher, you willscale our strategies to new markets and pioneer new alpha-generating frameworks from the ground up.

Key job responsibilities include:

  • Analyze large datasets to research crypto signals
  • Build, back test, and refine trading and hedging strategies across exchanges
  • Monitor and analyze model performance in live trading to come up with improvement ideas
  • Adapt existing strategies to new exchanges and crypto products
  • Conduct research in niche market forces to improve our trading performance
What We Look For

We are seeking mission-driven problem solvers who possess intellectual curiosity and analytical rigor required to navigate complex, real-time problems in high-stakes trading environments.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Significant experience required in financial markets, cryptocurrencies, crypto assets, and decentralized finance
  • Deep understanding of varying crypto market microstructure and macrostructure
  • Exceptional quantitative and problem-solving skills
  • Strong team player with excellent communication skills
  • Ability to use advanced statistics, machine learning models to solve practical problems
  • Prior experience working in a data-driven role
Benefits
  • Fully paid medical and dental insurance for all employees and dependents

  • Competitive 401k match and generous wellness benefits.

  • Meals at work and other perks.

Location

We prefer in-person in San Francisco.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or any other applicable legally protected characteristics.
