Build the systems behind serious capital.

Stratus is a team of 15+ engineers, analysts and researchers building the software, data and research infrastructure that hedge funds and family offices run on. Small team. Production stakes. No theatre.

/ 01 — Why Stratus

Work that ships, with people who ship it.

No layers between you and the work, no systems that never leave staging. Three reasons the best people stay.

01

A small, senior team

15+ specialists and no management layers. Decisions are made by the people who build the systems — you debate with peers who write code, not a hierarchy that reviews slides.

02

Real production ownership

Your code runs capital from day one. The systems you ship serve EUR 250M+ in assets and 150+ professionals — with your name on the monitoring dashboard, not buried in a backlog.

03

Breadth by default

From trading systems and research pipelines to the nine modules of the Stratus Suite. The surface area is wide and the problems rotate — you will not spend years on a single service.

/ 02 — How we hire

A process that respects your time.

Four steps, run by the people you would work with. No panels of eight, no take-home that takes a week.

01

Intro call

Thirty minutes with an engineer, not a recruiter. What you have built, what you want to build, and whether the fit is real — in both directions.

02

Technical deep-dive

A focused conversation on systems you have shipped: design decisions, trade-offs, what broke and how you fixed it. No whiteboard trivia.

03

Working session

You work a scoped problem drawn from our real stack, with the team you would join. It shows you how we work — not how we interview.

04

Offer

A decision within days, not months. Clear terms, a named team and a start date — the same punctuality we promise clients.

/ 03 — Open roles

Positions open now.

If your profile is adjacent rather than exact, apply anyway — we hire for trajectory, not checklists.

The listings above are where the need is sharpest, not the boundary of who we hire. If you build serious systems — for markets, data or the people who run desks — we want to hear from you.

Do the sharpest work of your career.

Send a CV, a repository or a note on the best system you have shipped. An engineer reads every application — and answers.
