Job Description

Los Angeles based quantitative hedge fund is seeking a CTO:

Gates Mills Technologies LLC ("GMT") is an emerging quantitative investment
management company based in Los Angeles, CA. GMT launched in September, 2024
and have since successfully accumulated a strong track record of uncorrelated
returns (+18%, ~2.5 Sharpe). We are currently managing an 8-figure allocation
from multiple institutional investors.

GMT is experiencing rapid growth, and is ready to onboard a Chief Technology
Officer & Lead Software Engineer. In this role, you will have a high degree of
creative license to help us build this business and its trading strategies. We
envision the key responsibilities falling into the following categories:

* Work alongside the founding partner to support existing systematic trading strategy and technology stack.
* You would be the primary software engineer responsible for making sure our algorithmic strategy is deployed consistently without incident.
* Collect and dig into data on our own performance.
* Work with the existing team to track key metrics, measure performance, and explore any unexpected results.
* Manage the R&D roadmap: Explore analogous systematic trading strategies that can form the basis of future growth.
* Assist with data & performance reporting and other ad hoc requests.
* Communication tools for LP relations and new business development: Build interactive data portal and dashboards that allow for intuitive display of our trading methodologies and offer a high degree of transparency to potential LPs seeking to understand the nature of our trading.

We envision growing considerably over the next few years, and you would
eventually be managing a small team of data scientists & software engineers,
some of whom will oversee existing strategies and others of whom will pursue
new research concepts.

The time commitment is intended to start at ~30 hours per week and scale as we
ramp up towards our first soft-close of $75M AUM in the fall of 2026.

The ideal candidate will have:

* Exceptional programming, data science, research, and problem-solving skills
* Experience working with large data sets
* Passion for financial markets and trading
* An entrepreneurial mindset
* Experience managing people and collaborating deeply on abstract projects
* A high degree of integrity in all aspects of life
* US citizen

Relevant finance experience is NOT a requirement.

Compensation will be a combination of salary and equity.

Please send your CV and a message why this opportunity seems intellectually
interesting.

Many thanks for your interest.
