Anemoi is hiring a fully remote Quantitative Trader — Multi-Asset based in the Los Angeles, CA area to trade and evaluate systematic strategies across liquid equities, exchange-traded funds, futures, and foreign exchange. The opening is designed for Pacific Time coverage of the U.S. close and the after-hours research handoff.

The Los Angeles, CA position owns live cross-asset exposure, instrument-specific mechanics, funding, rolls, execution, and incident controls. Its working schedule covers Pacific Time coverage of the U.S. close and the after-hours research handoff. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

The Los Angeles opening emphasizes clean transfers from East Coast decisions into late-session and post-close analysis. The schedule gives this opening direct ownership of the closing auction, late-session liquidity changes, and earnings or corporate events released after the U.S. close. Morning overlap with Eastern Time is reserved for decisions that need live discussion. Later work must leave a complete record for the next pre-market review.

For this role, that means direct ownership of cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk during Pacific Time coverage of the U.S. close and the after-hours research handoff.

For the first complete work cycle in Los Angeles, CA, you will use Pacific Time coverage of the U.S. close and the after-hours research handoff to test how the team measures and escalates changes in cross-asset exposure, funding and roll events, execution quality, and venue-specific risk. The cycle requires this task:
Research cross-asset relationships without forcing unstable correlations. A separate check covers this task:
Lead incident review and operating-control improvements. The Los Angeles opening emphasizes clean transfers from East Coast decisions into late-session and post-close analysis.
