We build rules‑based market signals and the quantitative research behind them. We hire people who do serious analytical, engineering, or distribution work.
Quantitative Analyst
Toronto (Remote)
Own the analytical layer of the company: study how the signal behaves across regimes, quantify where it works and where it breaks, and turn that evidence into work that sharpens both the product and the Academy. This role is less about frontier research for its own sake and more about disciplined market analysis that holds up under scrutiny.
What you’d do
Analyze signal quality across market regimes, time windows, and failure cases, with a clear view of what is robust and what is conditional
Measure hit rate, forward return shape, drawdown behavior, and false‑positive patterns across the full history
Build repeatable analytical workflows in Python or R that make recent questions easy to test and old conclusions easy to revisit
Evaluate new indicators, filters, and market features that could improve the read without bloating the system
Turn quantitative findings into clear internal memos and Academy work that stay faithful to the evidence
Track current market context closely enough to flag setups, anomalies, and changes worth deeper analysis
What we’d look for
Degree in statistics, applied mathematics, finance, physics, computer science, or a similarly rigorous quantitative field
3+ years in quantitative analysis, market research, or similarly analytical work where the standard of proof actually mattered
Comfort with Python or R, market data, and reproducible analysis workflows that can survive review by others
Strong statistical instincts and the discipline to distinguish a clean story from a true one
Clear writing that does not smuggle in more certainty than the evidence allows
Intellectual honesty, especially when the answer is inconclusive, messy, or inconvenient to the story
Markets Analyst
Toronto (Remote)
Track the macro and market context that surrounds the signal: monitor regime conditions,
document what the signal does and does not catch, and turn that ongoing analysis into Academy work that is honest about limits and useful to a disciplined investor.
What you’d do
Monitor macro conditions — VIX, Fed policy, labor, inflation — and maintain an ongoing read of where the market sits in the regime framework
Document signal performance in real time: what fired, what the context was, and what the outcome was as it matures
Write Academy articles and research notes that expand the educational layer without overstating what the signal can do
Identify macro or structural developments worth covering and propose content that would genuinely help a long‑term ETF investor reason through them
Review historical episodes to surface patterns, edge cases, and failure modes worth documenting publicly
Maintain intellectual honesty in all written output — conclusions stated at the confidence the evidence actually warrants
What we’d look for
Degree in economics, finance, statistics, or a similarly analytical field
2+ years tracking macro or equity markets in a research, analysis, or editorial capacity where accuracy mattered more than volume
Comfort reading and interpreting market data — price series, economic releases, Fed communications — without needing them translated
Clear, direct writing that does not dress up uncertainty as conviction
Genuine interest in how markets behave under stress, not just in normal conditions
The discipline to say nothing when there is nothing worth saying
Own the data and runtime layer that makes the research executable: ingestion, validation, persistence, internal APIs,
and delivery infrastructure behind a product that has to be reliable every day it matters. In practice that means working across a Python research pipeline and a Cloudflare Worker stack that owns D1, webhooks, and customer‑facing runtime behavior.
What you’d do
Maintain and extend the end-to-end signal pipeline, from Python‑side computation through Worker‑side ingestion, persistence, and delivery
Own TypeScript and SQL work inside a Cloudflare Worker architecture that handles Stripe, authentication, internal endpoints, and D1 reads/writes
Design and evolve schema, migrations, and internal API contracts so new product capabilities remain explicit, auditable, and easy to reason about
Implement and validate new features, filters, and model components on market time‑series without compromising reproducibility
Write documentation, review code, and promote architectural clarity so responsibilities stay clean across the Python and Worker boundaries
Keep the daily system observable, unit‑tested, and resilient under failure, including the messy edge cases that only appear in production
What we’d look for
Degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related technical field
3+ years building production systems in a data‑heavy environment, ideally where reliability and auditability were non‑negotiable
Strong Python plus enough TypeScript fluency to work comfortably in a serverless backend that owns real production state
Good engineering judgment around SQL schema design, API contracts, testing, code review, and change management
Experience with scheduled systems, external data sources, production reliability, and cloud infrastructure; Cloudflare familiarity is a plus
The ability to collaborate across research and engineering work without treating either side as someone else’s problem
A bias for simple, inspectable systems with clear ownership boundaries over clever but fragile machinery
