About the company

ntain is building Intelligent Blockchains to bring transparency and efficiency to capital market transactions, with an initial focus on asset-backed investments.


Asset-backed investment volumes—including mortgage-backed securities and other financings—have now reached pre-crisis levels. However, since the financial crisis, the only significant change has been an increased compliance burden, with little progress in transparency or operational efficiency.

Between the issuance and ongoing management of these investments, 4–8 intermediaries are typically involved, leading to annual costs exceeding $30B across securitization and other financing processes.

Intain’s platform brings together lenders, issuers, investors, and other stakeholders such as servicers, trustees, and rating agencies onto a shared-data ecosystem.


By combining artificial intelligence with key features of blockchain, Intain enables:

  • Seamless data flow with zero reconciliation
  • Complete transparency with provenance of assets and data

Diversity & Culture

Committed to diversity in fintech, 50% of Intain’s employees are women. Our teams work in an environment that blends the innovation of a research lab with the agility of a startup.


Leadership & Global Presence:

Founded by a team that includes a leading financial services executive, a securitization banker, an AI researcher, a software entrepreneur, and a blockchain architect, Intain operates from both the US and India.

About the company

About SnapHyr – Precision Talent for Trading-Critical Teams

At SnapHyr, we specialize in building high-performance teams for high-frequency trading (HFT)quantitative research, and systematic strategy desks.


We’re not a generalist recruitment firm.

We operate exclusively within the trading and quantitative technology ecosystem — helping firms hire talent across low-latency engineeringquant researchportfolio management, and market infrastructure.


Our clients are proprietary trading firmshedge funds, and strategy-driven asset managers who value speed, discretion, and depth over scale.


🎯 Our Focus

We work with trading organizations where performance depends not just on great code, but on microseconds of latency, the sharpness of alpha signals, and execution that holds up in live markets.

Our value lies in identifying talent that already understands this — people who’ve built real strategies, shipped production-grade infrastructure, and worked on live books with clear PnL responsibility.


🧠 What We Specialize In:

  • Quant Researchers & Traders (Stat Arb, Delta One, Options, MFT, Volatility)
  • C++/Rust Engineers building low-latency, tick-to-trade systems
  • Python Developers for quant platforms, signal research, and backtesting
  • FPGA & Market Data Infra Engineers focused on co-location and protocol-level parsing
  • Execution Traders & Risk Engineers working across multi-asset desks
  • Portfolio Managers & Desk Leads with strategy ownership and team-building responsibility


🔍 How We Work

SnapHyr works with a simple belief: high-impact roles require precision, not pipelines.

We engage directly with decision-makers — founders, CTOs, heads of trading — to understand not just what needs to be hired, but why it matters to the desk’s performance.


Every search is bespoke. We map requirements by latency thresholdsalpha generation mandates, or strategy expansion plans — not cookie-cutter job descriptions.


We’ve delivered on mandates where:


  • Portfolio managers needed to be hired in stealth, with domain overlap and risk alignment
  • Trading teams were looking for C++ engineers who’d worked on systems sub-10μs
  • FPGA engineers had to interface directly with quant leads on decoding market data
  • Python developers were expected to go from research notebook to live signal deployment


🎓 Our Talent Network


We maintain a tightly curated network of high-signal professionals:

  • Engineers from top-tier trading firms and deep-tech startups
  • Researchers from IITs, PhDs, Olympiad winners, and applied ML backgrounds
  • Ex-FAANG tech leads who’ve transitioned into quant
  • Execution professionals with multi-year, multi-asset trading exposure


We don’t operate on volume.

We build trust through quality, context, and speed — and we never compromise on discretion.


🤝 Who We Work Best With

  • Trading firms building new desks or scaling execution teams
  • CTOs or heads of research looking for talent with trading DNA, not just tech skills
  • Funds hiring across quant + dev + infra in one integrated team
  • Portfolio managers needing pre-vetted engineers who “get it”


SnapHyr exists to support the kinds of hires that don’t come from traditional recruiting — the ones that need nuance, domain fluency, and credibility on both sides.

Whether you're building from scratch or upgrading precision at scale — we’re built to help you do it right.
