Build the desk we’d trade on.

Nexural is a team of one to three. We hire only when a real person is the bottleneck on the desk — never to fill a quarter. If we’re not hiring, this page will say so. Receipts beat résumés here.

// posture · how we think about hiring

Six things we won’t flex on.

Read these before applying. If any feel wrong to you, this isn't the room — and that's a useful signal for both of us.

  • Smaller than you think.

    We've been a team of one to three for years. We hire only when a real person on the desk is the bottleneck — not because a quarter ended.

  • Trader-aware, not trader-required.

    You don't have to trade to work here. You do have to respect that everyone reading the screen has skin in the game and zero patience for shipped-broken work.

  • Receipts over résumés.

    Send work, not a CV: a repo, a Notion doc, a teardown of something we shipped, a research note. We'll read it. We won't ask for a referral.

  • Asynchronous by default.

    We do most thinking in writing. There are no daily standups. There are weekly written reviews. If you need to be in a Zoom to think, this isn't the room.

  • We retract in public.

    When research doesn't hold up, we say so on /research. Same expectation internally — no quiet revisions, no silent rollbacks, no political cover.

  • Compensation is a number, not a vibe.

    Ranges are published. Bands move on a fixed cadence. There is no 'we'll figure it out at the end.' If we can't tell you the range up front, we can't hire you.

// roles · current and recent shapes

What we’d hire. And what we won’t pretend is open.

We're not hiring this quarter. Below is what we'd hire next when a bottleneck appears.

status · not hiring today

We’re not hiring right now — and we’re saying so.

The desk doesn’t have a person-shaped bottleneck this quarter. Posting a fake req would waste your time and ours, so the page is honest about it instead.

The roles below are kept on file as the shapes we’d re-open first when a bottleneck does appear — usually one quarter ahead. If one of these matches you closely, expressions of interest are welcome at /contact. We read every one.

The fastest way to stay close: ship work where we’ll see it — a PR on /open-source, a research note on /research, or a long thread of clear thinking inside the Discord.

// paths · how people get on our radar

Three ways to get our attention.

None of them involve a recruiter. All of them involve work we can read.

  1. path 01

    Open the source.

    Read /open-source. Open an issue, send a PR, or fork a primitive. Real contributions get written-up credit and, sometimes, an offer.

    → /open-source
  2. path 02

    Publish a research note.

    Write up an edge with a falsifier. If it survives our review, we'll cross-publish it on /research with attribution.

    → /research
  3. path 03

    Show up in the room.

    Members who explain trades clearly, push back on us in Discord, and journal in public are the people we keep an eye on.

    → /pricing
// next · stay close

One inbox. No funnel.

No tracker, no ATS, no auto-responder. If you write, a person reads it. We answer the ones we can do something with.

what to send
  • A repo, a notion doc, a research note, a teardown of something we shipped — in that order of usefulness.
  • Two sentences on which role you’d shape into. We read shapes faster than CVs.
  • A timeline. Are you available now, in three months, or “keep me on file when you’re ready”? All three are useful answers.
