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 Seniority level • Entry level Employment type • Full-time Job function • Research, Analyst, and Information Technology Referrals increase your chances of interviewing at Kronos Trading by 2x #J-18808-Ljbffr Apply tot his job
