About

We founded Nova Prospect in 2022 with the ambition to build a new leader in systematic trading, and we are on track to turn this vision into reality. We invested heavily in our research and trading infrastructure, developing lean but powerful solutions that allow us to move from idea to production more efficiently than ever. We already established ourselves as a leader in systematic crypto trading and are continuously pushing the state of the art in quant research. Most importantly, we built a team of incredible talent density, it is a lean team where each team member is making essential contributions and benefits from our rapid growth. It is also a collaborative environment where everyone is expected to talk to everyone, learn from other team members, and help others succeed. We ensure that those who join us receive effective mentorship and are given significant long-term growth opportunities, though our commitment to excellence means we maintain a very selective hiring process. We seek individuals who are strong problem solvers, who share our drive and sense of commitment, and who can work well with our team. Please reach out if you are interested in joining us - we are hiring for our offices in Singapore and Miami.
