Do you want to work at a hedge fund that operates at the intersection of Finance, Data Science and Crypto to help build the growth engine behind the hardest data science tournament in the world—fresh off a $30M Series C at a $500M valuation (a 5x jump since 2023), led by top university endowments, and racing toward $1B+ AUM?

This tournament, where thousands of predictive models compete each week, directly informs an AI-managed investment strategy, and rewards participants with a cryptocurrency.

As a core member of a small, highly technical team, you’ll be involved in developing, deploying, and maintaining public-facing websites and APIs that drive marketing campaigns, growth initiatives, user onboarding, engagement, and community tools. You’ll bridge marketers, engineers, and our global community of data scientists and researchers to build deeply valuable features, manage our Ethereum ERC-20 token treasury, and integrate with decentralized web3 smart contracts for seamless user experiences. You’ll also support PR, community outreach, Discord operations, and on-call rotations for backend reliability.

Some exciting projects on the horizon include deeper ad campaign integrations, affiliate and guerrilla marketing tactics, UX improvements like onboarding flows, notifications, advanced filtering and visualizations, gamification with badges and chat rooms, plus new channels to attract top data scientists.

From a technological perspective, their stack includes Vue 3 (front-end with Node.js), Elixir (APIs + PostgreSQL), Python (backend services with Pandas, NumPy, etc.), AWS (managed by Terraform, Airflow, ECS, ElasticBeanstalk, plus EC2/S3/RDS/Lambda), and Solidity smart contracts.

You should be experienced with modern front-end technologies (Vue or any similar JS framework), but Elixir is a strong plus (not required). Python experience is a bonus, as is familiarity with Terraform/CI-CD, stats/data viz, growth tactics, community building, or crypto/web3.

The role sits on site in San Francisco.
