Qminers is a quantitative trading firm operating on global markets, with strategies built end to end in-house. We are looking for senior quants who are ready to own what they build.

The Firm

Fifty people.
Four continents.

Qminers brings together mathematicians, quantitative researchers, software engineers, and machine learning experts, drawing primarily from Charles University in Prague, one of Central Europe's strongest technical institutions, and from other leading universities nearby.

Our diverse team includes people from across the CEE region. We're growing steadily and deliberately slowly, because we want to maintain the spirit of a small firm. We don’t compete by being large, but by being precise.

Ownership

Your work has real weight here.

Most trading firms are built to scale. That means more quants, more layers, more distance between your work and what actually matters.

Qminers is built differently — small by design, which means the problems you solve here have direct impact on how the firm performs.

Compensation structure

Shadow equity

A meaningful share in the firm’s performance, available to all senior contributors as a standard part of compensation.

ESOP

For the most senior people, genuine ownership in what this firm becomes. The details are worth a conversation.

The long game

Are you thinking even further ahead? Perhaps moving back home and opening a Qminers office there? Let’s talk.

Trading at this level is already exceptional work. Here, it also builds something that’s partly yours.

Prague

A city you fall in love with.

Prague is a city of 1.5 million people — large enough to have everything, small enough that you can actually live in it. The historic centre, the river, the parks that stretch for kilometres: it’s one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and most people who move here stop thinking about leaving.

For families, it works exceptionally well. For people who grew up in this part of the world, it feels familiar in a way that’s hard to explain until you’re here.

Commute

Under 30 minutes from anywhere that matters. Clean, reliable public transport across the whole city.

International schools

Several strong international schools with English and multilingual programmes.

Healthcare

Private healthcare accessible and well above Western European standards.

Food & culture

Michelin-starred restaurants alongside great neighbourhood spots. Thriving cultural scene.

Parks & nature

Enormous parks within the city. Hiking and climbing spots, deep forests and rivers within an hour’s drive.

Family life

Nurseries and childcare groups everywhere. Playgrounds in every neighbourhood and endless weekend activities for families.

The cost of living is a fraction of London or Amsterdam, but the quality of life is on par. Keep your hard-earned money in your pocket.

Relocation

The hard part is logistics.

We know that moving a life is not a weekend project. So we take care of the practical side — from the first conversation to the first day in the office.

Visas & permits

Full support with work authorisation and residency for you and your family.

School placement

We help find and secure international school placement for your children.

Private healthcare

Comprehensive private health coverage for your family from day one.

Housing

Help finding the right neighbourhood and apartment before you arrive.

You focus on the decision. We handle the rest.

From the Team

People who
made the move.

“Amsterdam was a great place to learn. But at some point I realised I was optimising someone else’s book, in a city that wasn’t mine. Coming back wasn’t a step back — it turned out to be the more interesting move.”

Daniel Krýcha

Senior Quantitative Researcher. Previously at Optiver

“I decided to join Qminers because I value working in compact teams with world-class top talent, combined with real ownership and living in Prague: a city that offers everything I need in terms of culture, infrastructure, nature, safety, and family life. We are aligned not only around building something technically strong, but also contributing positively to the world, including through effective philanthropy.”

Raman Samusevich

Senior DL Researcher. Ex-Honeywell DL R&D, Ex-MIT CSAIL visiting researcher

“Prague offers all the benefits of a major European city, while being less frantic than a typical metropolis. Combined with the world-class team I’m working with at Qminers, the real impact of our work, and the scope of the truly interesting problems we’re solving, it wasn’t hard to decide to settle here.”
