# Principal Quant

**GRVT TECHNOLOGIES** · Singapore

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/grvt/2ffdd2ec-152b-4186-90c2-932958545513

## About the role

**What You’ll Do**

1. Quantitative Strategies Design and Implementation

- Devise and own a highly consistent, coherent, and principled quantitative strategy across trading, market-making, and alpha generation.

- Ensure that individual trading algorithms, market-making models, and execution parameters fit together into a harmonious system designed for global efficiency.

- Own the end-to-end correctness, backtesting, and live performance of quantitative strategies in production.

- Take ownership over minimizing adverse selection, managing slippage, and optimizing execution quality under stress scenarios.

- Act as the primary quantitative expert for evaluating market behavior and strategy outcomes:analyzing realized volatility versus model predictions

- diagnosing strategy performance drift and optimizing alpha signals

- driving model adjustments based on market-making effectiveness and P&L

- Treat live trading results as the ultimate validation of design, continuously refining strategies based on real-world market dynamics. Biasing towards statistical robustness and long-term scalability.

1. Quantitative Product Ownership

- Devise and own a highly consistent, coherent, and principled quantitative direction across trading, margining, liquidation, lending, and risk-related products.

- Ensure that individual models, parameters, and mechanisms fit together into a harmonious system, rather than a collection of locally-correct but globally-fragile designs.

- Own the end-to-end correctness, feasibility, and desirability of quantitative products in production.

- Take ownership over preventing tricky edge cases, stress scenarios, and failure modes from hitting production.

- Act as the first line of defense for user, partner, and internal feedback related to quantitative behavior:answering questions about correctness and intent

- diagnosing whether feedback reflects misunderstanding, edge cases, or real design flaws

- driving fixes or adjustments when models do not behave as intended

- Treat post-launch behavior as a continuation of product design, continuously refining models based on observed outcomes and feedback. Biasing strongly towards system consistency during revisions, and avoiding repeated fragile patches.

1. Cross-Functional Leadership & Execution

- Act as the technical lead for the research pipelines and infrastructure required to scale GRVT’s trading capabilities.

- Write exceptionally optimized and clean code (Python/C++) for backtesting, research tools, and execution modules.

- Collaborate with engineering to bridge the gap between research and high-performance production systems:designing low-latency data pipelines for strategy inputs

- optimizing the execution engine for market-making responsiveness

- building automated monitoring and attribution tools

- Take direct responsibility for validating implementations of quantitative products:design and execute deep testing in non-production and production environments

- reason about edge cases, stress scenarios, and failure modes that others are unlikely to catch

- use QA support where helpful, but remain personally accountable for correctness

- Own the outcome when quantitative products are mis-implemented, even if gaps were not caught by QA, recognizing that the domain complexity requires quant-level validation.

1.

##### Risk Management & Live Trading

- Take full P&L responsibility for live trading strategies and systemic risk behavior in production.

- Act as a key responder during incidents involving:abnormal trading behavior

- liquidation anomalies

- margin, risk, or insurance fund issues

- extreme market conditions or tail events

- Be accountable for real-time risk monitoring during market volatility, including:diagnosing root causes under pressure

- advising on mitigations, parameter changes, or temporary safeguards

- balancing user impact, platform safety, and long-term risk

- Lead or co-lead post-incident analysis for quantitative failures, ensuring:root causes are correctly understood (model vs implementation vs assumption)

- durable fixes are made to models, parameters, or system design

- learnings are fed back into product design and operational playbooks

- Proactively identify latent systemic risks and work with engineering and risk teams to reduce them before they manifest as incidents.

- Design trading strategies with real-time operability in mind, including:observability of key metrics and invariants

- explainability of system behavior during abnormal events

- safe failure modes and bounded blast radius

**What We’re Looking For (Core Requirements)**

We’re looking for **exceptional senior ICs** who combine strong product leadership with deep quantitative skill.

You should demonstrate:

- Prior experience building or operating trading venues, exchanges, or market infrastructure.

- A strong background in quant, with hands-on experience in quantitative trading, or market-making

- Proven strength as a Product Manager, including:owning outcomes end-to-end

- driving cross-functional alignment

- writing high-quality, precise specifications

- Deep understanding of margining, liquidation, leverage, and systemic risk mechanics.

- Strong operational mindset and comfort owning live P&L in production.

- Excellent communication skills, especially when explaining complex quantitative reasoning clearly.

- Sound judgment under ambiguity and high-stakes decision-making.
