Desks & family offices
A quant engineering team, without the build-out.
For funds, trading desks and family offices: engineers who build and run research, execution and reporting inside your own infrastructure, on terms your operations team can review. Everything they build is yours.
What we take on
The engineering a desk would staff, as capacity you can scale.
Hiring a quant developer takes months and commits you to a salary before the work is proven. An engagement starts with a scoped piece of work and grows only as far as it earns.

For family offices
Systematic work the family can see, keep and hand on.
A family office’s risk is rarely the strategy alone. It is the strategy living in one person’s head, on one vendor’s platform, or in code nobody else can read.
Oversight
Research, code, results and the reasoning behind them in one private record, written so principals and advisers can follow it.
Continuity
Source in your own repository with explanations alongside it, so the work survives a change of adviser, engineer or vendor.
Privacy
Nothing is hosted by us and nothing is shared. The family’s positions and strategies stay on machines the family owns.
An engagement
How it runs, from the first call.
01
Briefing
A private conversation on what you run today and what you want to exist. A mutual NDA first, if you prefer.
02
Proposal
The roles, the hours and the deliverables, in writing, with what it costs and what you own at the end.
03
Access
Named engineers you approve, working where you let them, with sandbox or paper credentials.
04
Delivery
Commits in your repository, reports with their assumptions, and handover notes your team can run with.
Before you engage
Everything your operations team will ask for.
Security and data handling
What we hold, every connection the software makes, how engineers are given access, and the diligence pack available under NDA.
