Hiring: Quant Developer Company: Gauntlet Location: New York City Metropolitan Area Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 12:05:45 Employment Type: Remote Target Skills & Keywords : AI, BigQuery, Capital Markets, Dagster, Data Pipeline, DeFi, GCP, Kubernetes, Python, SQL, Solana, Solidity, TypeScript, Vault About the job Experience: •2-8 years of experience, but we weight what you've built over years on a résumé. •8 years of experience, but we weight what you've built over years on a résumé. Required Skills: •Design and ship vault strategies: take a strategy from thesis and design doc through implementation, simulation, deployment, and live operation — RWAs, leveraged lending, yield aggregation, cross-protocol allocation, perpetuals, prediction markets, and new product types we haven't built yet •Optimize strategies: signals research, execution optimization, gas-aware rebalancing across tokens and chains, liquidity and duration management. •Run protocol and asset due diligence: evaluate new protocols, collateral assets, and chains for inclusion in strategies — solvency mechanics, oracle design, redemption paths, liquidity depth, and more. •Own risk parameters: supply caps, LLTV settings, concentration limits, VaR-based exposure models, and automated de-risking logic that pulls positions when conditions deteriorate. •Integrate new protocols and chains: build and validate adapters for lending markets, DEX aggregators, and bridges; verify strategy behavior against forked-chain simulation before capital touches it. •Monitor what you build: extend our risk-monitoring and alerting systems, define the conditions that page someone, and participate in the on-call rotation for the strategies you own. •Support launches and clients: partner with growth, capital markets, and client teams on new vault and strategy launches. •A track record of building quantitative systems that run in production — algorithmic trading, portfolio optimization, market making, or risk systems at a trading firm, asset manager, fintech, or crypto-native company. This is often 2-8 years of experience, but we weight what you've built over years on a résumé. Qualifications: •Hands-on DeFi experience: lending protocols, ERC-4626 vaults, AMMs, or oracle systems — as a builder or a sophisticated user. •Solidity / EVM literacy: reading protocol contracts, forked-chain simulation (anvil), or writing adapters; non-EVM experience (e.g., Solana) also valued. •On-chain operational experience: multisig workflows, transaction submission and signing infrastructure, bridging. •TypeScript, and familiarity with a modern data stack (e.g., BigQuery, Dagster, Hex, GCP/Kubernetes). •Wants end-to-end ownership — research, code, deployment, and the pager — not a hand-off between research and engineering. •Comfortable that crypto markets don't close. Strategy owners take on-call seriously, and the occasional market-event night is part of the job; we staff and rotate to keep it sustainable. •Operates well in ambiguity: can take "we should have a strategy for X" and return a scoped design, not a list of questions — and is comfortable in a fast-moving space where priorities and team structure evolve. •Holds a genuine risk view and voices it — including "we shouldn't do this" when the analysis says so. •Pragmatic about shipping: balances rigor against client timelines without cutting corners on safety. •Naturally curious about digital assets and DeFi. Deep crypto experience is not required — curiosity and strong quant fundamentals are. Compensation: •$175,000 - $200,000 / year •The national pay range for this role is $175,000 - $200,000 base plus additional On Target Earnings potential by level and equity in the company Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
