Future opportunities
We are not hiring right now.
No role is open on this page. What is here is a way to introduce yourself before one exists.
01Where things stand
The work right now is getting it ready.
Vaquero is being built and validated ahead of launch. That is the whole of the job today.
As the company grows we may add people in the places where one person changes the outcome. When that happens we would rather already know a few of the right ones.
What this page offers is a note kept on file. Read plainly, it says this.
- This is not an application for an open position.
- There is no vacancy today.
- Sending it does not guarantee an interview.
- Nothing on this page carries a date, a headcount or a plan.
- If an opening appears and your note fits it, we may write to you.
- Any such opportunity may be employment, contract or project-based, depending on the role and where you are.
02Areas we may grow into
Where the team might grow.
Five areas. None of them is an opening; the list describes the product.
- Quantitative ResearchSignal and factor work, and the statistics that decide whether a backtest result means anything at all.
- Engineering & Market DataPoint-in-time storage of price, fundamental and filing data, and the systems that run tests over it.
- AI / Machine LearningTurning a strategy written in plain language into code the engine can run, and everything that has to hold for the result to be trusted.
- Product & DesignHow a research tool reads on a screen: the interface, the writing inside it, and the shape of a result.
- Business & GrowthReaching people who already run their own strategies, and the commercial side of a small company.
03Expression of interest
Introduce yourself.
Five things are needed, your resume among them. The rest is optional.
Thank you. Your note is on file.
There is no open position to match it against today. If one appears and it fits, we will write to the address you gave.
To have it deleted before then, write to [email protected].
There is nothing open. Say hello anyway.
