About the role

We are an early-stage financial technology company building data, pricing, and research infrastructure for the private markets. Our platform transforms complex and fragmented market information into actionable pricing and investment intelligence for leading asset managers, investment banks, venture funds, and other sophisticated financial institutions. Following a recently completed Series A financing, we are expanding our quantitative and data capabilities as we build foundational infrastructure for a rapidly growing asset class.

Why join us?

Private assets do not have the transparent exchanges, continuous pricing, or standardized datasets available in the public markets. Solving that problem requires sophisticated quantitative modeling, creative feature development, and robust data infrastructure. As our Quant Engineer, you will have substantial ownership over the models and systems powering our core products. You will work with proprietary financial datasets, solve complex pricing problems, and see your work used directly by major financial institutions. This is an opportunity to combine quantitative finance, machine learning, data engineering, and customer-facing problem-solving within a small and highly capable team.

Job Details

  • Build, maintain, and improve quantitative pricing models for illiquid assets

  • Research new datasets, features, and market signals that can improve model performance

  • Design and build pipelines that collect, parse, validate, and store financial data

  • Develop machine-learning systems using structured and unstructured datasets

  • Experiment with LLMs to automate data ingestion, extraction, and quality-control workflows

  • Improve the scalability and efficiency of existing data pipelines

  • Produce custom analyses and data deliverables for institutional clients

  • Explain quantitative methodologies and data-collection strategies during select client conversations

  • Collaborate closely with engineering, product, sales, and company leadership

  • Strong foundation in statistics, probability, applied mathematics, financial modeling, or machine learning

  • Degree in mathematics, statistics, data science, computer science, financial engineering, or another quantitative discipline

  • Master’s degree preferred

  • Strong software-engineering and data-engineering capabilities

  • Experience working with large, complex, or imperfect financial datasets

  • Ability to translate technical concepts for both quantitative and non-technical audiences

  • Comfortable operating with significant ownership in an early-stage environment
