Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR China Hermeneutic Investments Full time

About Us / Why Join?

We are a rapidly growing crypto hedge fund, 2 years old, managing a 9-figure AUM, generating 200%+ annualized returns with a 4 Sharpe.

We are building a new team and system to help our trading & research team detect and react to market-moving events. This is an opportunity to:

  • Bring your TradFi experience to a new nascent asset class where there is plenty of alpha to be harvested.
  • Work with some of the best crypto researchers and traders, proven with track record.
  • Be compensated very well, as our profitability per staff member is very high. Think: retirement money after 5 years.

Your Responsibility

We are seeking an already experienced head for our new real-time information flows team. You will build the technical team and direct the architecture from the ground up.

We think the future system will have 3 major components / sub-teams:

  1. Frontend/UX Sub-Team: Create an excellent user interface for traders and researchers with robust ‘Alert and Warning’ pop-up capabilities. This is a challenging UX problem as mistakes here cost millions of dollars, but attention is also expensive.
  2. Data Corpus Sub-Team: Develop the tools for testing and scoring new alert ideas (optimizing precision / recall) and providing ideas for new alerts.
  3. Reliability/Latency Sub-Team: Consistently reduce latency and maintain reliable scrapers and infrastructure that perform well under harsh conditions (e.g., OCR, login, site structure changes, IP bans).

Requirements

Our first hire is a generalist with direct experience building similar alpha-harvesting event systems in another hedge fund. You are likely "director-level."

  • You are still hands-on and build an MVP of #1-3 by yourself;
  • While constantly hiring senior engineers to work under you and lead each module.

Technical Skills you should have:

  • Frontend/User Experience: Proficiency in frontend technology with a user-centric mindset. Experience in user experience research is a large plus.
  • Data Corpus: Understanding of machine learning. Able to build a tool and data corpus of previous news sources and events we can optimize precision/recall scores on.
  • Reliability/Latency: Expertise in creating reliable scraping systems and reduce latency over time.

Note: You should be at an intermediate level at all 3 of these areas (enough to direct the architecture) and a world-class expert in at least 1.

Interview Process

  1. 1st round: Technical and architectural by Chief of Staff.
  2. 2nd round: Technical by Infrastructure Lead.
  3. 3rd round: (Optional) We may ask you to do an assessment / assignment.
  4. 4th round: Cultural and fit by our CIO.

Throughout the process, you'll be assessed for cultural fit through our company values:

  1. Drive - We believe the best team members are passionate about what they do, and that propels them to greater heights in their career. It drives them to be part of the best teams where they are exposed to the best ideas.
  2. Ownership - We aim to give ownership interest to as many people in the firm as possible, but in return, we expect everyone to act like owners. "Not my responsibility" is a repugnant phrase to us.
  3. Judgement - We look for team members who consistently look at the big picture and spend their time on the activities that most drive PnL. They are pragmatic with their time; they don't stick to their narrow domain if it doesn't move the needle.
  4. Openness - We want a culture where we proactively share information with one another and challenge each other with constructive debate to reach the truth.
  5. Competence - We value people with high intellectual horsepower. They have already become an expert in one or more domains and learn extremely quickly when in unfamiliar territory.

FAQ

Is previous crypto experience necessary?

No, we prefer candidates who are coming from premier TradFi buy-side hedge funds.

However, we expect all candidates to have a strong interest in digital assets and ideally trade or invest in their personal account.
