The Place for
Nanosecond Minds
We're wired for speed and obsessed with precision.No, we don't wear lab coats or play by the textbook but we optimize every signal, every system, every nanosecond. High-frequency trading is our arena, and detail is our edge.
Like a finely tuned system, we rely on each other to perform at peak precision. Like any great team, we operate in sync every model, every line of code, every trade. And like any high-performance engine, we follow a shared framework our menifesto to stay aligned, move fast, and build toward what's next.
This is our menifesto. It lays out our mission, our mindset, our culture, and the principles that drive us everything but how to shave off a few nanoseconds in code (you'll pick that up along the way).
To unlock the power of human ingenuity by empowering brilliant minds to turn algorithms into alpha, and by transforming complexity into clarity for markets worldwide.
How do we get there?
By trusting our team of builders and thinkers and giving them the autonomy, tools, and environment they need to innovate. (Okay, and maybe some strong espresso.) Our, five core values shape how we work and grow. If they resonate with you, and this sounds like the kind of team you want to grow with, come help us shape the future of quantitative finance.
Our values
Our values are shaped by every mind at Minix-engineered through collaboration, refined by experience, and driven by purpose.
For us, these aren't just words-they're principles that guide every decision we make. They shape how we build, how we collaborate, and how we earn trust across markets, partners, and teams. These values keep us grounded and consistent, no matter who we're building for or where we operate.
Building What's Next
We don't wait for the future-we engineer it. We learn faster than the markets move, adapt ahead of the curve, and treat change as our default setting. Relentless innovation keeps our technology sharp, scalable, and always a step ahead.
The Minix Pulse
We believe iteration speed matters more than perfection. That's why we keep bureaucracy to a minimum and focus on what truly moves the needle. Heavy processes slow us down-clarity and sharp priorities keep us nimble.
We'll be honest: moving fast brings a bit of chaos. But at here, we welcome it. Chaos sparks creativity, breaks stale patterns, and forces smarter thinking. It's part of what keeps us innovative.
Fast doesn't mean reckless-it means making decisions with clarity and consent, even without full consensus. Because in a world of nanoseconds, forward motion wins.
As long as our decisions are grounded in data and logic, we're not afraid to take calculated risks. Here, putting smart ideas into action matters more than waiting for perfection-because progress happens when bold thinking meets execution.
Think Big, Move Fast
We hold onto our relentless, builder-first mindset. Complacency has no place here-we take smart risks, push boundaries, and constantly refine what we ship. Here, adaptability is a strength; we observe, learn, and act-always with speed, precision, and purpose.
We push to find the smartest path forward-even when it's not the most obvious one. Then we refine, repeat, and optimize-because here, improvement is never one-and-done.
The Signal Never Stops
We celebrate our wins-and we learn from our misses. Failure isn't a flaw in the system; it's proof we're pushing boundaries. Every misstep teaches us something new, and every informed risk is part of the journey toward innovation.
Not every decision will pay off-but the pursuit of insight is always worth it. When things don't work, we recalibrate, adapt, and keep moving—smarter and sharper than before.
This rhythm demands extraordinary minds. We look for those with the curiosity to explore, the discipline to execute, and the resilience to face complexity head-on.
To be part of Minix is to drive change, stay bold, and build what's next.
Joining the Core
Ideas lead in the minix and rest follows.
Traditional ladders, rigid hierarchies, and red tape? Not our style. We grow through impact, not titles.
We don't believe in "up or out," and we're not here for comfort-zone coasting. Here, growth is a long game-your career and our mission evolve together. It's not a sprint, it's sustained precision.
We don't hire rockstars-we hire the right fit. The best individual contributors elsewhere aren't always the best collaborators here. In every hire, we look for three things: adaptability, technical depth, and drive. Because real breakthroughs happen when the right people work in sync, building toward something greater than themselves. Here, we are our mission.
Who you are
Our edge comes from the strength of the collective. We rely on every team member to embody our values-openly, actively, and consistently. You'll help bring those principles to life through your work, your voice, and your collaboration.
If you join our team, we expect you to care-deeply. About the quality of your code, the clarity of your models, the precision of your thinking, and the mission we're building together. Ownership isn't optional here-it's how we scale excellence.
We also expect you to grow. Growth is embedded in our DNA, for the company and every individual in it. You'll steer your development with intention and curiosity, and we'll back you with the tools, feedback, and trust to thrive. Promotions are earned, not promised-but progress is constant if you own your path.
And finally, we expect you to collaborate. We doesn't run on egos-we run on rigor, respect, and the power of diverse perspectives. If you value clarity over credit and thrive in a culture that rewards humility as much as intellect, you'll fit right in.
Operating in Sync
Right-no egos. But what does "being kind" actually mean at Minix? It means treating teammates, partners, and peers with respect. It means assuming good intent and working toward shared understanding. We each bring different perspectives-and with that, the potential for bias. So while we speak with confidence, we also listen with humility and openness.
We're committed to maintaining an environment free from discrimination and built on inclusion. We believe that diverse perspectives and backgrounds lead to better ideas, stronger systems, and smarter outcomes. After all, you can't build a complex strategy with just one signal. High-performance systems need harmony-and so do high-performance teams.
We believe in a culture where inclusion drives performance-where everyone feels empowered, supported, and genuinely part of something bigger.
A culture where curious, driven, and collaborative minds can thrive, experiment, and do their most impactful work. A culture that evolves with every new team member, yet stays grounded in the principles that define who we are.
Leading the Core
The first thing we look for in a leader is the courage to lead with clarity and conviction. Our managers must be bold, resilient, and adaptable-capable of building strong, sustainable teams and holding themselves to the highest standards. Purposeful leadership sets the tone; when you lead with intent, excellence follows.
We don't bring in top talent just to micro-manage it. Instead of rigid checklists and heavy processes, we rely on continuous planning and thoughtful one-on-ones to keep communication clear and purposeful.
We don't manage talent-we cultivate it. Growth here is a shared commitment, not a box-ticking exercise.
