Staff Quantitative Engineer (Onchain Market Primitives)

Location: Remote - US remote preferred, open to Europe for strong candidates

This is early, foundational work at the intersection of quantitative finance, crypto market structure, and onchain data systems.

Role Overview We are seeking a Staff Quantitative Engineer to own the design and evolution of our core market primitives. This is not a research-only or support role; you will own markets end-to-end, from first-principles design and specification to post-launch iteration based on real trading behavior.
