Paul Mason Consulting

We are Kraftshala. We are an online skilling institution committed to playing the long game of building a transformative educational experience for the masses. We call this ‘Scaling with Soul’. 

Scaling with Soul, to us, means we always prioritise student outcomes– specifically our Placement Rate (percentage of students placed)- over other metrics, such as number of enrolments or company valuation in the coming year. 

This is, of course, easier said than done. There are painful choices to be made at every stage, from admissions to training to placements, that wouldn’t have been needed were we willing to give up on either of high quality or scale. 

But in the long run, we believe that our obsession over these student outcomes will earn Kraftshala the trust of Indian students, their families, recruiters and the broader ecosystem. 

That’s why we make each of our Placement Reports public, capturing how many students are placed in each batch, in what companies, at what salaries etc. 

We don’t need to. None of our competitors do (though we’d be happy to be proven wrong and have more educators join us!). Simply put, we have tasted the benefits of an education model grounded in high quality paired with the transparency of student outcomes and now cannot imagine doing it any other way.

We are not the largest in terms of enrollments. Nowhere close, actually. Not yet. 

However, we are proud to be one of the largest, if not the largest already, in terms of actual, verifiable placements. 

And in terms of Placement Rate, the metric that matters most to us, we are the absolute best in edtech. In the last 2 years, we have placed more than 1500+ students with a Placement Rate of 94% (and improving). 

This is our long game- to Scale with Soul. We invite you to join us for the play.

What do we value (the Kraftshala Kode):

Like all good companies, we value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Our team’s distinctiveness comes from the following:

• We seek a user-centric, value-additive mindset. People who start with the user and work backward, and take every opportunity to add value to their customers/ partners fit right in.
• We believe speed matters enormously in business. We value people who have a bias for action and are willing to take calculated risks in the face of uncertainty. 
• We value problem-solving skills. We look at problems objectively, solve for root causes, make decisions for long-term good instead of short-term gain, and don’t let processes get in the way of value addition.
• We look for learning agility. We are a team of learners who like to read, talk to experts, and seek critical feedback to be better today than we were yesterday. 
• We respect ambition & courage to take on large goals. Self-starters who demonstrate high ownership strengthen the backbone of our team. 
• We expect consistency and reliability. Predictability just makes everyone’s life a lot smoother. 
• We like people who are real and open in communication, while still being empathetic. 
• We are practical optimists. Our team strongly believes in a better future & we enjoy playing our part to make that future a reality.

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 engineering, quant research, portfolio management, and market infrastructure.

Our clients are proprietary trading firms, hedge 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 thresholds, alpha 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.
