Careers
At Amazand LLC, we strive to unite the foremost specialists from a range of disciplines, creating a team where individual mastery is amplified by collective genius. We operate on the conviction that the most complex challenges, like those within energy markets, are solved not by generalists, but by a collaborative cohort of true experts—the physicist who deeply understands complex systems, the data scientist pioneering new algorithms, and the engineer who builds resilient, high-performance software. It is at the intersection of these distinct fields of expertise that we find our edge and build the future of quantitative trading.
Investing in exceptional talent is at the core of our business. At Amazand, you will contribute directly to these core units.
