Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

Company: Arcedge

About Arcedge
Arcedge is a self-funded algorithmic trading company operating at the intersection of HFT and crypto. We build systems where decisions are made in milliseconds, trading across both CEXs and DEXs.
No investors. No committees. We're a small team where everyone's contribution has a direct impact.
The Role
We're looking for exceptional quants, ML engineers, and software engineers — people who are rarely actively looking for a new job. Your mission is to find them where everyone else isn't looking.
What You'll Do
* Hunt for candidates in private communities, niche Telegram groups, research communities, and other non-traditional channels.
* Source talent through hackathons, ML and trading competitions, and candidates with strong competitive programming or olympiad backgrounds.
* Run highly targeted searches for specific technical roles — this is precision recruiting, not high-volume sourcing.
* Reach out to passive candidates and convince them to have a conversation.
* Close 2–3 exceptionally difficult technical hires per quarter rather than 20 average ones.
What We're Looking For
* Experience hiring for HFT, crypto, fintech, or other deep-tech environments.
* Ability to distinguish outstanding quantitative talent from average candidates, even without being a quant yourself.
* Strong knowledge of unconventional sourcing channels and how to use them effectively.
* Results matter more than process. We care about hires, not reports.
What We Offer
* Challenging technical searches that are genuinely interesting.
* Complete freedom in choosing your sourcing methods and tools.
* Competitive compensation, discussed individually.
* Fully remote.
* No bureaucracy.
