How hiring works: role, track and timeline

  • A role for your strengths

    We look at your experience, strengths and interests and pick a role to match them. We put the interview track together the same way, so at the interviews you talk about what you are strong in.

  • Accelerated track

    The track usually takes about three weeks. If timing matters, tell the recruiter and we will run all the interviews within a few days

  • Only what the work needs

    We test the knowledge and the approach to problems that the role needs. Each section is tied to what you will be doing.

The full spectrum to win

  • Income without limits

    Salary, bonuses and awards, profit sharing from the common PnL without a ceiling for technical roles. Responsibility grows with every project, and income grows with it.

  • Personal development track

    Performance coaching: goals, motivation and managing workload, and with them sleep, sport and nutrition.

    Regular reviews and mentors from the industry. Equipment, education, languages and any computing power the work needs.

  • Health, wellness, relocation

    Health insurance with dental care, discounts on insurance for family, medical tests every six months. Breakfasts and lunches in the office, gyms and courts. We hire from any country: tickets, housing for the first month, documents and moving the family

  • Beyond the office

    Friday dinners, monthly events and internal competitions. Every six months the whole team travels to a new country. Private events attended by celebrities, and other exclusive events

Whom we look for and what we assess

  • Real knowledge

    Technical skills for the role's requirements. We assess what you can do now, so years of experience and the job title on your CV do not affect the decision.

  • Achievements and pace

    A fast growth track, results in olympiads and competitions, in studies, research or work projects. They show what bar you set for yourself.

  • Team fit

    Focus on results, speed of thinking, a systematic approach, proactivity and readiness to take responsibility

Still have questions?

  • Do you hire people without experience?

    For junior positions, for example Junior Quant, work experience is not required. For middle and senior, real work projects and practical skills are the key factor.

  • Is experience in HFT specifically required?

  • Is experience in olympiads or competitions required?

  • How long does hiring take, and what stages are ahead?

  • Are interviews held in person or remotely?

    All stages can be done remotely. Sometimes we invite you to the office for the fit interview, to meet the lead and the team.

  • What is your work format?

    In the office only: the speed of communication and the quality of teamwork are many times higher with in-person interaction. In rare cases we discuss remote work with a successful candidate.

  • How many hours a week do you work?

    Technical teams work 40-45 hours a week. Plus additional forms of leave on top of those required by law.

  • Can I combine work with study?

  • How is income structured?

  • How do I recommend a friend?

    If you have friends who fit one of the open positions, write to us in Telegram and we will contact them.
