About Hyperbolic

Hyperbolic is the open-access AI cloud made for AI developers, providing fast, affordable access to compute, inference, and AI services. Backed by Polychain Capital.

About the role

Compute is becoming a traded asset, and almost none of the market structure exists yet. There is no settled forward curve, no standard contract, no consensus on how to price optionality on a GPU-hour. We're building the financial layer of our marketplace, and we're looking for a Quantitative Researcher to own the modeling behind it.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in quantitative research, trading, or structuring, with hands-on experience building pricing or risk models that were actually traded on, not just backtested
  • Deep fluency in derivatives pricing and hedging — options, futures, forwards — and the ability to reason about instruments where no liquid market or clean volatility surface exists
  • Experience constructing hedges for a portfolio of physical or contracted assets, using both conventional derivatives and non-standard instruments
  • Dynamic pricing expertise: building models that set spot and term prices from supply, demand, and inventory signals in near real time
  • Strong programming skills in Python and comfort working directly with messy production data rather than a curated research dataset
  • Ability to structure new financial products from first principles, including contract design, settlement mechanics, and the assumptions underneath them
