What are the responsibilities and job description for the Trader/Researcher, Crypto Stat Arb position at Fionics?
Trader/Researcher, Crypto Stat Arb
Remote
One of the fastest-growing systematic crypto shops around is looking for a traders and researchers to run their own book. If you want a real seat with real ownership at a firm that is genuinely going places, read on.
The firm
Founded by an ex-Jane Street founder, with a team drawn from JS, HRT, SIG, Optiver and Five Rings. The pedigree is the kind you normally only find at the big names, in a shop small enough that you actually matter.
The trajectory
Seven-figure AUM three years ago. Nine figures today. Nine people. That is the kind of growth curve people spend careers trying to catch, and this team has done it from a standing start. The ceiling from here is a long way up.
The seat
→ Run your own independent pod with profit share and full autonomy. Your book, your calls.
→ Mid-frequency stat arb, signal horizons of hours to days out to a few weeks.
→ Collaborative by design. A tight, high-calibre team that shares rather than siloes.
→ They have already paid a seven-figure guarantee to land the right person, so they back conviction with real money.
What we're looking for
→ A track record running or building systematic strategies
→ Crypto is ideal, but crypto-adjacent MFT stat arb in EM, FX or commodities transfers cleanly
→ Not a fit for pure ultra-low-latency HFT backgrounds, this is mid-frequency
→ Belief in crypto as an asset class. Scepticism doesn't work here
Comp: profit share plus genuine upside, with seven-figure guarantees on the table for the right person. Remote works, and they will wait out a non-compete.
