SQV3 is hiring: CTO and Quant (AI workflow)

We are SQV3, a quant research and consulting firm working at the point where traditional derivatives thinking meets crypto markets. We build the research, models, and structured products that institutional players lean on when they move into digital assets. We are looking for one person who can be both our lead quant and our technical head, and who builds with AI at the center of how the firm runs.

About the role
This is a founder level seat for someone who refuses to pick between modeling and building. You will derive the models and design the system that runs them. One day you are working through a volatility surface, the next you are standing up the AI pipeline that turns that work into client ready research with almost no manual effort. You own the quant and you own the stack, and you use AI to make both move faster than a normal team could.

What you will own
• Research and build pricing and volatility models across crypto options, perpetuals, and structured products
• Design and build the firm's AI research pipeline,



from data ingestion through model output to published research and client deliverables
• Stand up agentic and LLM-driven workflows that automate the slow parts of quant research, writing, and distribution
• Own the full technical stack, from on-chain and exchange data infrastructure to the tooling the team works in every day
• Prototype and backtest strategies with honest attention to overfitting, regime shifts, and the usual ways quant work quietly breaks
• Set the technical and research direction for the data product and keep it ahead of what the market expects
• Partner directly with the founder on strategy, hiring, and where the firm places its bets

•

What we are looking for
• Strong quantitative background, for example a degree in mathematics, physics, statistics, or engineering, or equivalent experience that proves the same depth
• Fluency in probability, statistics, and stochastic methods appl
