Blockchain Developer

About Us

Alfred Capital - Alfred Capital is a next-generation on-chain proprietary quantitative trading technology provider, pioneering fully autonomous algorithmic systems that reshape trading and capital allocation in decentralized finance. 

As a sister company of Deqode — a 400+ person blockchain innovation powerhouse — we operate at the cutting edge of quant research, distributed infrastructure, and high-frequency execution.

What We Build

• Alpha Discovery via On‑Chain Intelligence — Developing trading signals using blockchain data, CEX/DEX markets, and protocol mechanics.
• DeFi-Native Execution Agents — Automated systems that execute trades across decentralized platforms.
• ML-Augmented Infrastructure — Machine learning pipelines for real-time prediction, execution heuristics, and anomaly detection.
• High-Throughput Systems — Resilient, low-latency engines that operate 24/7 across EVM and non-EVM chains tuned for high-frequency trading (HFT) and real-time response
• Data-Driven MEV Analysis & Strategy — We analyze mempools, order flow, and validator behaviors to identify and capture MEV opportunities ethically—powering strategies that interact deeply with the mechanics of block production and inclusion.

Evaluation Process

• HR Discussion – A brief conversation to understand your motivation and alignment with the role.
• Initial Technical Interview – A quick round focused on fundamentals and problem-solving approach.
• Take-Home Assignment – Assesses research ability, learning agility, and structured thinking.
• Assignment Presentation – Deep-dive into your solution, design choices, and technical reasoning.
• Final Interview – A concluding round to explore your background, interests, and team fit in depth.
• Optional Interview – In specific cases, an additional round may be scheduled to clarify certain aspects or conduct further assessment before making a final decision.

Quantitative R&D Engineer

As a Quantitative R&D Engineer, you’ll explore data and design logic that becomes live trading strategies. You’ll bridge the gap between raw research and deployed, autonomous capital systems.

What You’ll Work On

• Analyze on-chain and market data to identify inefficiencies and behavioral patterns.
• Develop and prototype systematic trading strategies using statistical and ML-based techniques.
• Contribute to signal research, backtesting infrastructure, and strategy evaluation frameworks.
• Monitor and interpret DeFi protocol mechanics (AMMs, perps, lending markets) for alpha generation.
• Collaborate with engineers to turn research into production-grade, automated trading systems.

Ideal Traits

• Strong in data structures, algorithms, and core CS fundamentals.
• Proficiency in any programming language
• Understanding of probability, statistics, or ML concepts.
• Self-driven and comfortable with ambiguity, iteration, and fast learning cycles.
• Strong interest in markets, trading, or algorithmic systems.

Bonus Points For

• Experience with backtesting or feature engineering.
