Company Description
Icon Trading is a crypto native trading firm building the future of on-chain trading. We design performant systems and execute high-conviction strategies across decentralized markets with speed, precision, and discipline.
Founded by experienced traders from Pantera, Electric Capital, we operate with high velocity, rigor, and zero bureaucracy.
We're assembling a world-class team to build the most competitive trading desk in crypto. If you're obsessed with building clean systems and working with the best people - we’d love to meet you.
Role Description
As a Quantitative Researcher, you’ll drive strategy development from idea to production. You’ll research alpha signals, build models, and launch live strategies fast. You’ll work side-by-side with engineers and traders in a flat, highly technical environment, where your work goes live in hours. You’ll have full ownership over your models and their performance.
Core Responsibilities
- Research and build predictive signals across CEX and DeFi markets
- Design and implement short-term trading strategies (from milliseconds to minutes)
- Analyze market microstructure to uncover inefficiencies and edge
- Backtest, simulate, and refine models across high-frequency and mid-frequency regimes
- Collaborate closely with engineering to productionize strategies
- Optimize performance with rigorous data analysis and risk frameworks
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in quantitative research, ideally in trading or HFT
- Strong Python skills (bonus: Rust, C++)
- Solid grasp of statistics, probability, and time-series modeling
- Experience working with tick data, blockchain data, or alternative data sources
- Familiarity with DeFi protocols, DEXs, and smart contract mechanics
- BS/MS/PhD in a technical field (Math, CS, Physics, etc.) — or equivalent real-world experience
What Makes This Role Different
- Own Your Strategy: You own your idea from research to PnL.
- Zero Bureaucracy: Flat, fast, and technical team. Just ship it.
- Real Impact: Your work is core to the firm’s edge and upside.
- Growth: Learn from world-class talent and define the future of crypto trading.
