Job details

Quantitative Researcher

Wormhole Labs is a technology company that specializes in building multi-blockchain software. Our experience spans a broad spectrum of blockchain technology, and we operate at the intersection of application and platform.

We're seeking a Quantitative Researcher to join our team as we scale our cross-chain intents and trading infrastructure. You'll develop quantitative strategies spanning traditional market making, alpha generation, and cross-chain execution, working across centralized exchanges, decentralized venues, and cross-chain intents infrastructure.

What you will do

  • Scale existing intents infrastructure by improving solver economics, reducing execution latency, and building automated cross-chain inventory rebalancing systems to maximize capital efficiency

  • Develop and deploy mathematical trading strategies including market making and statistical arbitrage across CEXs and DEXs

  • Explore emerging crypto protocols and DeFi primitives to identify novel trading opportunities and develop non-traditional sources of alpha

  • Design and implement low-latency trading systems from the ground up, writing performance-critical code across the stack

Requirements

  • 4+ years of quantitative research experience on a successful delta-one trading team

  • Strong programming skills (Python for research, Rust for performance-critical systems)

  • Solid foundation in statistics, probability theory, and numerical methods

  • Experience with large-scale data analysis and modeling

  • Interest in blockchain technology and DeFi (prior experience with crypto trading, or intents systems a plus)

We provide

  • Competitive salary and restricted token units, dependent on position type and location.

  • Discretionary bonus dependent on company performance and individual impact.

  • Unlimited time off, healthcare premium reimbursement, and 401K.

  • Top-of-the-line MacBook Pro and test mobile devices.

  • Flexibility of working from wherever you have work authorization, as long as you are available ~10-6PM US Eastern Time. We minimize unnecessary meetings, but building decentralized systems requires synchronous communication.

Note: We will only respond to applications that meet our requirements. If you don't get a response, please assume a polite decline.
