The work

What you'd actually work on

Four problems sit underneath everything we ship. Whatever the role, this is the machine you'd be building on.

Simulation

Fills the order book would actually give you

Years of tick and MBO order-book history, replayed event by event. A fill that's one tick optimistic turns a losing strategy into a winning chart — so the engine has to be exact, and has to prove it.

Scale

Thousands of runs, fanned out and merged

Every backtest splits into chunks across a spot fleet and merges back through a pipeline that stays correct under at-least-once delivery — while costing a fraction of a cent per run.

Statistics

Math that refuses to flatter

Walk-forward, Monte-Carlo resampling, PBO, deflated Sharpe. Most of the work is finding rigorous ways to tell someone their edge isn't real — and being right when we do.

Interface

Dense data, one clear answer

A node canvas, millions of rows decoded off the main thread, and a verdict a trader can read at a glance. The complexity is ours to hold, not theirs.

The stack

TypeScript · Next.js · Python · Numba · Polars / Arrow · AWS · Postgres
