Quant Research & Risk Engineer; Pinescript + Python + APIs Remote

Position: Quant Research & Risk Engineer (Pinescript + Python + APIs) | Full-Time, Remote Quant Research & Risk Engineer (Pinescript + Python + APIs) | Full-Time, Remote IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE NOT EXTREMELY PROFICIENT AND FAST IN PINESCRIPT AND AT LEAST INTERMEDIATE IN PYTHON, PLEASE SKIP THIS POST -- Quant Strategy & Risk Research Engineer (Pine Script + Python) — Full-Time, Remote Competitive full-time compensation, up to $6,000 USD/month, with performance-based upside. -- Kronos Trading is a fast-growing systematic trading business serving high-capital clients. Since 2022, our systems have outperformed Bitcoin over the same periods and we’re scaling the research stack to keep doing it --through better strategy design, tighter risk controls, and smarter portfolio construction. We’re hiring a full-time Quant Strategy & Risk Research Engineer to work directly with Alex (Founder & Fund Manager) on new strategies and risk models. Execution is handled via a third-party platform connected to client exchange accounts. Your job is to design, test, and specify the logic -- then collaborate with our infrastructure lead who handles automation/integration. -- 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
