Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Stellar Capital Management Full time

Company Description

At Stellar (https://stellarcapital.ai/), we're building AI-powered wealth management for modern Indians.

The company focuses on true risk diversification that complements a holistic financial picture. Clients experience hyper-personalized investment management with unmatched transparency and convenience.

Compensation Highlights

  • Free access to Stellar's employee-only investment fund

Role Description

We are recruiting for versatile Founding Quant Research Engineers to drive the full R&D cycle of Stellar's investment systems. This is a hybrid role that combines financial intuition, modeling depth, and engineering execution:

Research & Modeling

  • Develop advanced models for low-frequency predictions of returns and risks (primarily Indian equities, but including other asset classes)
  • Build hyper-personalized portfolio optimizers compatible with various benchmarks, constraints, and financial goals-based objectives
  • Drive continuous improvement of alpha generation and capacity expansion
  • Collaborate with the founder, product, and growth teams to align research output with company goals

Systems & Development

  • Build scalable quantitative investment and wealth-management systems, including robust data pipelines and proprietary alternative data integrations
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive platforms for alpha research, backtesting, and live experimentation
  • Own DevOps and infrastructure practices, ensuring auditability, reliability, and security of data flows and execution systems
  • Continuously leverage AI assistance to boost creativity and product velocity

Preferred Background

  • Experience: 5+ years in low-frequency quant research and/or engineering
  • Education: Strong academic background from premier institutions in financial engineering/mathematics/computer science, or related quantitative disciplines
  • Prior Roles: Quant investing funds or fast-paced startups
  • Mindset: AI-native productivity, end-to-end ownership, and bias toward shipping
  • Or something untraditional that trumps all of the above

Stellar Culture

Fulfilment through the best work of our lives

Pursuit of Excellence

We are not a family; we are a high-performance sports team- and our sport is solving users' problems

Talent Density

We prefer to hire one AI-augmented superhuman over five average players- that's why we offer top-of-market compensation and free access to the employee-only fund

Relentless Innovation

Dare to solve daunting problems with first principles thinking, multidisciplinary ingenuity, resourcefulness, and grit

The Fast and The Curious

The speed of execution and improvement matters more than perfection

Radical Candor

Being kind is more important than being nice- say what people need to hear, not what you think they want to hear, and actively seek feedback

Truth Alone Triumphs

Change your mind when the facts change, and don't fool yourself with vanity metrics (Delulu is not the solulu)

Pride in Craftsmanship

What we build ends up building us- this is more than "just work"

Fewer Rules Rule

Thrive in freedom by being self-motivated, taking ownership, and always acting in Stellar's best interests
