Quant Research & Risk Engineer; Pinescript + Python + APIs Remote
Position: Quant Research & Risk Engineer (Pinescript + Python + APIs) | Full-Time, Remote Quant Research & Risk Engineer (Pinescript + Python + APIs) | Full-Time, Remote IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE NOT EXTREMELY PROFICIENT AND FAST IN PINESCRIPT AND AT LEAST INTERMEDIATE IN PYTHON, PLEASE SKIP THIS POST -- Quant Strategy & Risk Research Engineer (Pine Script + Python) — Full-Time, Remote Competitive full-time compensation, up to $6,000 USD/month, with performance-based upside. -- Kronos Trading is a fast-growing systematic trading business serving high-capital clients. Since 2022, our systems have outperformed Bitcoin over the same periods and we’re scaling the research stack to keep doing it --through better strategy design, tighter risk controls, and smarter portfolio construction. We’re hiring a full-time Quant Strategy & Risk Research Engineer to work directly with Alex (Founder & Fund Manager) on new strategies and risk models. Execution is handled via a third-party platform connected to client exchange accounts. Your job is to design, test, and specify the logic -- then collaborate with our infrastructure lead who handles automation/integration. -- Your Mission Help us create strategies that survive: minimize drawdowns, control exposure, and keep performance resilient across market regimes. You’ll combine research discipline with real-world trading practicality. What You’ll Do
- Strategy research in Trading View (Pine Script v5)
- Implement and iterate on strategy logic in Pine (prototypes → robust versions)
- Build tooling to explore ideas quickly (filters, regime detection, trade management logic)
- Maintain readable, modular code so iteration is fast
- Reproduce/extend ideas beyond Trading View in Python when needed: c_parameter sweeps, d_sensitivity/stability checks, “Does this edge persist across pairs and regimes?”, “What’s the expected drawdown distribution?”, “What happens when correlations spike?”
- Propose and design your own 'Risk Dashboard' such as:
Spread / liquidity anomaly alerts, Exposure caps on client’s account, cooldowns, trade halts, guardrails for bad fills, error conditions, abnormal volatility, extreme market moves. Write the specs and logic; infra integrates it into monitoring/automation.
- Work tightly with Alex (Founder)
- Daily collaboration on ideas, trade-offs, and risk decisions
- Bring critical thinking and “capital protection” instincts, not just coding
-- Who We’re Looking For
- You naturally ask: “How does this fail?” and design around it
- You care about drawdowns, tail risk, exposure, and robustness
- You can propose smart money management ideas and defend them with evidence
-- A - Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
- Strong Pine Script v5 (stateful logic, not just indicators)
- Strong Python for quant analysis / backtesting
B - Demonstrated understanding of
- drawdowns & risk-of-ruin thinking
- position/exposure management
- regime changes and strategy decay
C - High reliability
- consistent availability, fast communication, full-time focus
-- Other Must Have
- Trading experience, specifically Crypto and Forex.
- Experience working with execution platforms (3commas, Alpaca, etc...) at the logic/spec level
- Familiarity with monitoring/alerting concepts for trading ops
- Prior work on portfolio construction and uncorrelated strategy baskets
-- How We Work
- Trading View (Pine) for rapid research and iteration
- Python for deeper validation and portfolio-level truth
- Execution via our signal broadcaster (you are not writing an exchange execution engine)
- Fast cycles, high standards, minimal bureaucracy
-- Hiring Process (Fast)
- Pine task (implement a stateful strategy component cleanly)
- Python task (analyze results + stability)
- Risk task (design a delisting/spread anomaly protection spec + describe what you would do with that information)
-- To Apply Send:
- 2-3 examples of Pine work (links/screenshots)
- A brief summary of a risk control system you designed (what it prevented and how)
- A Python sample (Git Hub/notebook snippet is fine)
- Your timezone + confirmation of full-time availability
