Founding Quantitative Researcher & Trader, Singapore

Founding Quantitative Researcher & Trader | Delta-Neutral Strategies (Remote)
Boundary is building USBD, a verifiable, delta-neutral DeFi stablecoin engineered for institutional fiduciaries. Backed by Galaxy ($2M pre-seed), audited by Cyfrin with zero critical findings, and one of the few protocols in Chainlink's BUILD program. Founded by Matthew Mezger (ex-Head of Trading at DCG, multi-billion USD book; ex-Deutsche Bank Head of NA Rates eTrading), Roman Drapeko (ex-McKinsey QuantumBlack, distinguished AI engineer), and Mathias NC (ex-McKinsey financial services tech).
We're hiring our founding Quantitative Researcher & Trader, our first hire on the quant side. The strategies you build will directly back a stablecoin, not sit in a separate alpha book. Capital allocation, risk parameters, and venue selection are the product.
This is a builder role. You won't inherit infrastructure, but shape it.
What you'll actually work on Delta-neutral basis and funding capture across perps venues. Hedged staking. Cross-venue execution between CeFi and DeFi. Treasury allocation under hard constraints: no recursive leverage, no directional exposure, continuous on-chain verifiability of NAV and reserves. Our PoC Sharpe over a year of live capital, your job is to scale that into a production book supporting a rapidly growing stablecoin foundation. You'll own the research-to-production loop end-to-end: hypothesis, backtest, forward test, live deployment, monitoring, iteration. Engineering and trading infrastructure work alongside you, not above you.
You're likely a fit if You've run delta-neutral books in crypto through at least one funding regime shift, and can talk specifically about what broke and what you changed
You know the difference between basis on Binance perps, Hyperliquid, and Deribit, and have an opinion about which venues you'd route to and why
You've built execution logic that survives 24/7 markets, not just backtests that look good on paper Python is your daily driver; you've touched Rust, Solidity, or on-chain data pipelines enough to drive value creation
You've thought about how funding rate strategies behave when everyone else is doing them
Compensation Balanced cash, equity, and token allocation, with meaningful performance-based cash comp tied to strategy PnL. Competitive with top crypto-native funds, with the upside of equity and DAO rewards allocation from the core contributor pool. Specifics in the first conversation.
Logistics Remote-first, with strong preference for candidates in or able to overlap meaningfully with APAC market hours. Full-time.
To apply, email (HIDDEN TEXT)e with a short note on a delta-neutral strategy you've actually run (or wish you had) and what you'd change about it. Resume is welcome. We read every email.
