The Quantitative Researcher/Engineer will enhance automated trading strategies, collaborate on exchange functionality, and ensure platform security against vulnerabilities.
Fuel is a high-performance blockchain operating system that redefines what's possible on Ethereum. By combining unparalleled throughput with the core principles of decentralisation and security, our platform simplifies the development process for builders worldwide. The Fuel Virtual Machine, with its ground-breaking state minimization and parallel transaction execution capabilities, sets a new standard for Ethereum Rollups, overcoming existing limitations in protocol development.
Since our 2019 launch with Fuel V1, we've been focused on enhancing Ethereum's scalability. Our innovations, like the Fuel Virtual Machine and the Sway programming language, provide developers with a powerful, user-friendly environment.
We're a passionate, intelligent and empathetic globally dispersed team, united by a love for innovation and a commitment to shaping the future of blockchain technology—one ground-breaking solution at a time.
Who You Are:
• You’re optimistic. You’ve got positive energy and see opportunities where others see problems.
• You’re a lifelong learner. You’re eager to dive deep into emerging technologies, from Ethereum Rollups to decentralised finance, and you thrive on mastering new concepts.
• You’re a team player. You believe in the power of collaboration and are ready to push boundaries with a group of like-minded innovators. You welcome the challenge of stepping out of your comfort zone to achieve something great.
• You’re high agency. You believe in your ability to impact outcomes and take proactive steps to make things happen. Instead of waiting for instructions or letting obstacles deter you, you create solutions and drive projects forward with determination and resourcefulness.
• You’re courageous. In a rapidly changing industry like ours, you’re not afraid to voice your ideas, and challenge the status quo. You have the confidence to tackle difficult problems and the resilience to see them through.
• You steer clear of performative crypto trends. You’re mission-driven, focused on substance and prefer actions that drive real results over following popular narratives.
What you'll do:
- Run, tune, and improve our automated strategies on-chain and across exchanges. You’ll ensure they execute reliably and adapt to market conditions in real time.
- Collaborate with engineering, product, and research to shape how the exchange functions at a fundamental level. You’ll help build resilient bots and contribute to protocol-level logic.
- Protect the exchange from manipulation and adversarial behaviour
- Identify potential vulnerabilities in trading logic or system architecture. Analyze behaviours, detect edge cases, and work closely with the security team to keep the platform robust and trustworthy.
Who you are:
- Strong background in quantitative analysis, algorithmic trading, or market microstructure
- Comfort working close to code (Python, Rust, or similar), enough to prototype or review logic
- Experience with DeFi protocols, centralised exchanges, or on-chain trading bots
- A hacker mindset; you think like an adversary to spot risks before they become problems
- Curiosity, ownership, and a bias toward action

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene
To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
