About this role

Join Rockbund as a Chief Investment Officer to lead the expansion into traditional markets, leveraging your extensive trading experience and strategic judgment in a fast-paced, meritocratic environment.

Description

Founded in 2019, Rock Bund Capital is a proprietary trading firm deeply committed to shaping the future of the cryptocurrency industry. We have an average daily trading volume reaching $1 billion and peak daily trading volume of $9 billion USD. We process over 15 million transactions daily, trading more than 1,000 symbols across major CEx and DEx.

Our team combines expertise in traditional finance, quantitative research, and advanced engineering with a deep understanding of blockchain technology. This unique blend enables us to excel in trading across complex crypto markets, including both CeFi and DeFi, while providing capital and strategic guidance to projects that drive innovation and foster sustainable growth in the crypto industry.

We are a leading proprietary quantitative trading firm with a dominant presence in digital assets. Having established a world-class infrastructure for HFT and systematic arbitrage, we are now embarking on a multi-year expansion into traditional global electronic markets.

Responsibilities

What You Will Do

  • Market Entry & Strategic Roadmap: Evaluate and prioritize entry into traditional markets and instruments. Develop a sequencing plan based on market microstructure, liquidity, and electronic tradability.
  • Organizational Architecture: Design the team structure and drive the hiring of Alpha Researchers, Quant Traders, and Quant Engineers. Build a high-performance culture that balances aggressive growth with institutional discipline.
  • Investment & Operating Plan (ROI): Define and manage the required investment across market data, compute requirements, and connectivity. Track actual spend against delivered research and trading output to ensure disciplined resource scaling.
  • Capital Allocation & Prioritization: Create a framework for capital deployment across teams, strategies, and markets. Work with leadership to optimize risk-adjusted ROI, making high-stakes decisions on when to scale, pause, or retire strategies.
  • AI-First Research Framework: Partner with CTO to ensure AI/Agents are embedded where they create real leverage—accelerating research throughput, enhancing strategy reproducibility, and automating research-to-production (R2P) workflows.
  • Operating Cadence: Implement the discipline of regular post-trade analysis, research reviews, and promotion gates to ensure the business operates as a scalable "trading system" rather than a collection of isolated projects.
Requirements

Who You Are

  • 8+ Years of Systematic Trading Experience: Proven track record at a top-tier prop trading firm or market maker, and mastery of market microstructure.
  • Demonstrated ability to build new trading desks from scratch: Convert a strategic vision into a hiring plan, and design operational frameworks.
  • Strategic & Commercial Judgment: Strong intuition on where to deploy time and capital. Ability to identify the right "beachhead" markets that align with the firm’s existing strengths.
  • Asset Mastery: Deep expertise in Futures and Equities microstructure and electronic execution across multiple global venues.
  • Technical Depth: Strong understanding of the full trading lifecycle: data normalization, simulation engines, execution algorithms, and risk management.
  • Ownership Mindset: A hands-on leader who thrives in high-growth environments where details are not yet predefined and clarity must be created.
  • Practical AI Awareness: A vision for how LLMs and agents reshape systematic research workflows, distinguishing between superficial tooling and true research leverage.
  • Fluency in both English & Mandarin Chinese.
Conditions & Benefits

Why Join Us

  • Competitive remuneration package and a meritocratic culture where accomplishments are rewarded.
  • Fast paced and result-oriented with a flat structure.
  • Teams collaborate in a casual working environment.
  • Excellent exposure to the digital asset ecosystem and the latest market insight.
  • Great career development opportunities.
