Quantitative Researcher

Quant Researcher — Crypto HFT — Dubai - Visas and relocation paid for 

Markets move in microseconds. Make sure you're the reason why.

We're hunting for a junior/mid quant researcher to join a crypto HFT desk in Dubai. If you can find alpha where everyone else sees noise and you'd rather prove it in C++ than argue it in a meeting, keep reading.

What you'll be doing

• Researching and building systematic alpha signals across crypto markets
• Backtesting in Python, productionising in C++ where it counts
• Working tick data, not daily candles — this is microstructure, not macro vibes
• Iterating fast, failing fast, deploying faster

What you bring

• Strong foundations in C++ and Python — you know which one to reach for and why
• Quant chops: stats, probability, time series — the maths actually has to hold up
• Genuine curiosity about market microstructure and crypto-specific quirks (fragmented liquidity, exchange latency, funding rates — the lot)
• A junior/mid level CV that shows hunger, not just a syllabus

What's in it for you

• Direct exposure to live HFT strategies from day one — no shadowing for six months
• Dubai base: tax-efficient, fast-growing crypto hub, no commute through the rain
• A desk that ships ideas instead of sitting on them in committee

If you've been quietly building signals on your own data and wondering where the real action is — this is it.
