Consulting & Finance Tech

High-Stakes Consulting & Finance Tech — Quant, Web3, Mainframe, Audit & Compliance

About the Opportunity

We're hiring across our high-stakes technology and advisory practices — the specialized roles that sit at the intersection of finance, security, compliance, and legacy modernization.

This is a multi-disciplinary search spanning five scarce disciplines, each commanding a premium because the expertise is rare, the stakes are high, and the regulatory environment is unforgiving. We've built one flexible search to find exceptional people across all of them.

If you've built a career in one of these niches — or you're adjacent and ready to go deep — this is your opportunity to be valued for exactly what you know.

Open Roles

We are actively hiring across the following functions:

• Quantitative Developer / Quant Researcher — Build pricing, risk, and trading models; low-latency systems; research alpha
• Blockchain / Web3 Security Engineer — Audit smart contracts, secure protocols, and assess DeFi/Web3 risk
• Mainframe Modernization Architect — Lead migration and transformation of legacy mainframe systems
• IT Audit Manager / Director (Financial Services) — Own IT audit programs, SOX/regulatory compliance, and control testing
• Cybersecurity Compliance Lead (FedRAMP / SOC 2 / ISO) — Drive certification, audit readiness, and control frameworks

What You'll Do

• Apply deep domain expertise to high-stakes technical and compliance problems
• Design, build, audit, or modernize critical systems and frameworks
• Partner with engineering, risk, legal, and business stakeholders
• Lead engagements, programs, or teams (depending on level)
• Translate regulatory and business requirements into technical execution
• Serve as a subject-matter expert internally and with clients/regulators/auditors
• Own outcomes where the margin for error is thin and the impact is high

Who We're Looking For

You may be a fit if you have experience inany of the following:

• Quantitative development, research, or trading systems
• Blockchain / smart contract / Web3 security
• Mainframe systems (COBOL, JCL, CICS, DB2) and modernization
• IT audit, SOX, internal controls, or financial services compliance
• Security compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI)

We're open to candidates from:

• Investment banks, hedge funds, prop trading, or fintech
• Web3 protocols, crypto exchanges, or security auditing firms
• Enterprise IT, consulting, or systems integration
• Big 4 / audit firms, regulators, or financial institutions
• Government, defense, or regulated-industry environments
• Mid to senior candidates — plus entry-level candidates with strong fundamentals, relevant certifications, or domain coursework

Compensation & Benefits

• Base: $180K–$250K+, with premium pay for scarce expertise
• Total comp may include bonus, equity, and performance incentives (especially quant and Web3)
• Full benefits: health, retirement, PTO, and professional development
• Certification and clearance sponsorship where applicable
• Remote-friendly / hybrid / on-site options depending on role

Why Join

• Premium compensation for genuinely scarce expertise
• High-impact work where precision matters and the stakes are real
• Cross-disciplinary exposure across finance, security, and compliance
• Clear paths from IC → Principal → Director → Practice Leadership
• Work with sophisticated clients, systems, and problems

How to Apply

These disciplines are hard to fill because the expertise is rare — and we know the right person may not match every line. If you're strong in even one of these areas, apply. We value depth over breadth, and we'd rather invest in the right specialist than miss them. Confidential inquiries and referrals welcome.
