**Posted:** 2026-07-24

> Quant Developer designing, implementing, deploying, and owning production vault strategies for onchain finance at Gauntlet. Full ownership of quantitative systems from research through live operation, risk management, and on-call monitoring. Requires production quant systems experience, strong Python, and applied statistics/optimization skills.

## Job Description

## What you'll do

- Design and ship vault strategies: take a strategy from thesis and design doc through implementation, simulation, deployment, and live operation — RWAs, leveraged lending, yield aggregation, cross-protocol allocation, perpetuals, prediction markets, and new product types.
- Optimize strategies: signals research, execution optimization, gas-aware rebalancing across tokens and chains, liquidity and duration management.
- Run protocol and asset due diligence: evaluate new protocols, collateral assets, and chains for inclusion in strategies — solvency mechanics, oracle design, redemption paths, liquidity depth, and more.
- Own risk parameters: supply caps, LLTV settings, concentration limits, VaR-based exposure models, and automated de-risking logic.
- Integrate new protocols and chains: build and validate adapters for lending markets, DEX aggregators, and bridges; verify strategy behavior against forked-chain simulation.
- Monitor what you build: extend our risk-monitoring and alerting systems, define paging conditions, and participate in the on-call rotation.
- Support launches and clients: partner with growth, capital markets, and client teams on new vault and strategy launches.

## What you bring

- Track record of building quantitative systems that run in production (algorithmic trading, portfolio optimization, market making, or risk systems).
- Strong Python and solid software-engineering fundamentals: testing, code review, durable abstractions.
- Applied quantitative skills: optimization, statistics, simulation; validate models against real data.
- Comfort with data infrastructure: SQL and building/consuming data pipelines.
- Production ownership: debugged live systems under pressure; strategies managing other people's money must be correct, monitored, recoverable.
- Clear technical communication.

## Bonus points

- Hands-on DeFi experience: lending protocols, ERC-4626 vaults, AMMs, oracle systems.
- Solidity / EVM literacy: reading contracts, forked-chain simulation (anvil), writing adapters; non-EVM (Solana) valued.
- On-chain operational experience: multisig workflows, transaction submission, bridging.
- TypeScript, modern data stack (BigQuery, Dagster, Hex, GCP/Kubernetes).
- Experience with risk modeling for volatile assets: VaR, liquidation modeling, stress testing.

## Who thrives here

- Wants end-to-end ownership — research, code, deployment, and on-call.
- Comfortable with 24/7 crypto markets and on-call rotation.
- Operates well in ambiguity; can scope and deliver designs quickly.
- Holds and voices genuine risk views.
- Pragmatic about shipping with rigor and safety.
- Curious about digital assets and DeFi.

## Benefits & perks

- Remote first — work from anywhere in the US & Canada.
- Regular in-person company retreats and cross-country "office visit" perk.
- 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums.
- $1,000 WFH stipend.
- Monthly reimbursement for home internet, phone, and cellular data.
- Unlimited vacation.
- 100% paid parental leave of 12 weeks.
- Fertility benefits.
- Opportunity for incentive compensation.
