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.
