Quant / Trading Engineer
About The Position
We are building a foundational layer for the next generation of financial markets: perpetual markets based on onchain economic activity. Instead of merely pricing assets or narratives, our platform allows traders and autonomous agents to take directional exposure to the growth or decay of applications, protocols, and infrastructure within the onchain economy. We deploy directly into the Hyperliquid ecosystem, optimizing discovery and execution through our dedicated application. As a member of our early-stage team, you will work at the intersection of quantitative finance, crypto market structure, and high-performance onchain data systems. Your mission is to build the signal layer and APIs that make autonomous trading agents materially more effective. You won’t just be moving data; you’ll be converting raw market behavior into high-fidelity, agent-readable signals.
Requirements

- Crypto Market Literacy: A deep understanding of onchain market structure, capital flows, and the mechanics of decentralized protocols.
- Engineering Excellence: Experience building production APIs with a focus on low latency, schema validation, and reliability.
- Autonomy: A builder’s mindset—you are comfortable working in the "early and foundational" stage where you define the path forward.
Responsibilities
- Signal Engineering: Convert raw market data and trader behavior into structured, agent-readable signals and production-grade APIs.
- Agent Optimization: Design features specifically intended to reduce ambiguity for autonomous agents, minimizing the need for complex "prompt-wrangling."
