🤝 Partner Quant Program

Build like a founder. Own like a partner.

What is This?

The Partner Quant Program is VisualHFT’s equity-based contributor track — a way for deeply committed technical builders to earn long-term ownership in the platform.

This is not a bounty board.
This is not a freelance gig.
This is early-stage technical co-creation — in exchange for real equity.

We're assembling a small group of contributor-partners who will help us ship the core product, own modules, and shape VisualHFT into the go-to visibility layer for market microstructure analytics.

What You Get

Element Description
Equity Ownership 0.25%–1.0% of VisualHFT, based on your contribution tier
Contributor Recognition Attribution in docs, GitHub, and blog posts
Long-Term Role Path to full-time salaried role when funding/traction allow
Vesting 2-year vesting with a 3-month cliff and milestone gating

⚠️ No salary or compensation at this stage.
This is an equity-only contributor role, structured for those who believe in the product and want skin in the game.

Who Is This For?

We're looking for people who:

  • Are passionate about market structure, trading systems, or real-time infra.
  • Want to work async, independently, and own serious parts of a product.
  • Think like founders — you care about the product as a whole, not just your code.
  • Don’t need a fancy title to ship exceptional work.

Whether you’re a new graduate reverse-engineering our repo or an experienced quant dev tired of building black-box tools, we care about your energy, not your résumé.

Example Contributions

We’re looking for real leverage. Things like:

  • 🔍 Quant Signal Modules:
    VPIN, LOB Imbalance, OTR/TOB ratios, latency surfaces

  • 🔌 Infra Plugins:
    Kafka, FIX, ITCH, PCAP — live or historical stream connectors

  • 📈 Visual Tools:
    Execution slippage heatmaps, spoofing alerts, quote stuffing tracebacks

  • 🧠 Market Insight Tools:
    Auto-tagging engines, anomaly clustering, post-trade diagnostics

If you’ve got a wild idea that fits the VisualHFT mission — pitch it.

How It Works

  1. Apply via Form:
    Fill out this application to tell us about your skills and motivation.

  2. Initial Scope:
    We’ll align on a module or project you want to lead.

  3. Contribute + Commit:
    You build with rigor and stay involved post-merge. This isn’t drive-by dev.

  4. Earn Equity:
    You’re formally onboarded with a Contributor Equity Agreement. Vesting begins after 3 months of consistent contribution.

Open vs. Equity Contributions

Anyone can fork the repo, submit PRs, or suggest ideas.
But equity is reserved for those accepted into the Partner Quant Program — the contributors we see as potential long-term builders and eventual employees.

Legal & IP

You’ll sign a Contributor Equity Agreement and IP Assignment upon entry.
All work must be original and production-grade. We’re building for the long term.

Or fork the repo and build something great — we always respond to signal.

You don’t need a title. Just passion, discipline, and a desire to ship the product you wish already existed.

VisualHFT is built by those who believe in clarity, speed, and trading visibility.
Let’s build the edge — together.
