Lead Full-Stack & Quant Systems Engineer

About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Full-Stack & Quant Systems Engineer to help build the technology infrastructure behind a growing investment and technology business.
This role combines full-stack development, quantitative trading systems, AI integration, and technical ownership. You’ll work directly with the founder to turn ambitious ideas into reliable, production-ready software — from a polished public-facing website to an automated trading system and a central management platform.
The ideal candidate enjoys both high-level architecture and hands-on implementation, with an eye for visual detail and a strong understanding of backend systems, infrastructure, security, and real-time data.
What You’ll Do
Refine the website’s design, functionality, responsiveness, and performance across desktop and mobile.
Set up and integrate a quantitative trading system, connecting trading logic, market data, exchange APIs, and execution services.
Build a central management application for monitoring:
Trading positions
Balances
Performance
System health
Operational activity
Implement essential trading controls such as exposure limits, alerts, audit logs, and emergency stop functionality.
Integrate AI models and agents where they can provide practical value in analysis, automation, and internal workflows.
Develop secure backend services, databases, authentication, and role-based access.
Manage deployment, testing, monitoring, and ongoing technical improvements.
Work directly with the founder to translate business and technical ideas into clear priorities and working software.
Document your work and build maintainable systems that can evolve with the business.
What We’re Looking For
Demonstrated experience building and shipping full-stack websites or applications.
Strong JavaScript/TypeScript and Python skills.
Experience with modern frontend frameworks and backend APIs.
Strong understanding of databases, third-party integrations, real-time data, and asynchronous systems.
Experience deploying and maintaining applications on Linux servers.
Comfortable working with Git and container-based development/deployment workflows.
Strong understanding of security when handling credentials, permissions, financial data, and sensitive operations.
Excellent attention to detail and an eye for visual quality.
Strong independent problem-solving and technical judgment.
Clear communication and the ability to make sensible decisions around scope, reliability, and delivery.
Especially Valuable Experience
The following would be strong advantages:
Experience with exchange APIs, automated trading, or financial platforms.
Understanding of backtesting, paper trading, transaction costs, slippage, and execution reliability.
Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or locally hosted AI models.
Experience building interactive dashboards.
Experience with advanced web animation or 3D web experiences.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role means delivering:
A polished, responsive, and reliable website.
A quantitative trading system that can be tested, monitored, and controlled.
A management application that makes complex trading and business operations easy to oversee.
Well-documented, maintainable technology that can evolve as the business grows.
Why Join?
Work directly with the founder and have meaningful input into core technical decisions.
Take ownership across full-stack development, AI, infrastructure, and quantitative trading technology.
See your work become a central part of the business.
Opportunity to contribute to a broad technical environment rather than a narrowly defined engineering function.
Contractor engagement with the possibility of transitioning to a full-time position with founder privileges, subject to mutual agreement.
