At iRage, you will get to solve some extremely challenging engineering problems and shape the future of this lucrative industry while working alongside other exceptional programmers, quants and traders.

Who are we looking for?

Our prospective employees possess a high degree of ethical integrity, honesty and professionalism.
Doing well in our industry involves exploring and researching new concepts frequently, and undertaking numerous experiments - thus we are looking for proactive initiative-takers. Because of the same reason, we expect our employees to be continuous learners who enjoy the process of learning and exploring latest developments in various related domains.
Since doing well involves coordinating across domains (technology, big-data and finance), we are looking for team players who can work collaboratively and effectively with others. In our flat hierarchy, while you might not be a leader in the organizational chart, we look for leadership skills in all our prospective hires.
Because the markets are very dynamic, and thus our response to market events has to be just as dynamic, thus we are looking for adaptability as another key characteristic - an ability to thrive under modifying environments.
And most importantly, we are looking for skilled & achievement oriented people - people who have demonstrated excellence in their academic or professional career, and have significant expertise in the skills that matter in our industry. In addition, often the problem statements are very unique and unlike those that exist in other domains - thus strong problem solving and critical thinking skills are critical.

Introduction: A Journey through Code and Markets

As a strategy developer at iRageCapital, I find myself at the exciting intersection of technology and finance. With a background in infrastructure development and a passion for optimising market data, simulations, and data storage, my role is dynamic and ever-evolving. In this article, I'll walk you through a typical day in the life of a developer in the fast-paced world of high-frequency trading.

Embracing the Market's Rhythm: Morning Routine

The day kicks off in sync with the market's opening at 09:15 for the NSE. Before the opening bell, our team ensures that all


A Day in the life of a Quantitative Trader

A typical day involves taking care of trading and research to identify new trading opportunities.

The day starts off with a quick look at any major global/Indian events which might impact the market for the day. After understanding how the market might behave at the opening, a quick set up of the trading systems and the necessary parameters for trading follows.

After preparing for the market opening (which could vary from being a sedate opening to a very volatile one), I make sure the market is stabilised and our trading is working as expected for the next few minutes. Any irregularities which might need our attention or any unusual action which might need a fine tunin


A Day in the life of a Quantitative Researcher

It was late at night. I just started my B.Tech, so I was doing what every fresher does. Talking to my newly found friends about where I see myself after graduation. A lot of them (all) had the same response. Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook … I said I wanted to go to Wall Street. Of course I did not have the slightest idea of what it meant. But being inspired after watching countless movies like Margin Call, Inside Job, The Big Short etc. I just blurted out my mind. It was 2018.

Five years down the line, after a few hits and misses, I can safely say I kept my promise.

Hi. I am Adarsh, currently working as a Quantitative Researcher at IrageCapital. Though it&


A day in the life of IT Head

Being an IT head , my responsibilities are to handle multiple tasks , like compliance , audits , infra etc. 

My day starts around 7:00 AM so that I can ensure that there should not be any surprises during pre open market and production time which starts at 9:00AM. 

It's a challenging job in an industry that keeps changing. And my priority is to make sure that all services and systems are running smoothly. 

I have to monitor the health and performance of the company's IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, applications etc. 

Even after monitoring things there is always the possibility that an emergency situat


A day in the life of an Intern

I am an intern in the FPGA Dev team at iRage. Before discussing my day-to-day activities, let me give you some background on my internship. My day-to-day work involves working on the FPGA designs being used at iRage, to make optimizations in our trading decisions at the nanosecond level. Prior to starting my internship, my manager/mentor discussed with me potential project options. I chose a project which I deemed to be a good mix of challenging and independent, so that I would not need to have a long on-boarding period. I was given a general overview of the FPGA design currently used, and a brief overview of the project I will be working on, and I was good to start working in a couple of


A day in the life of a HR Professional

9:00 AM: The day begins with a refreshing cup of tea, setting the stage for the day ahead and our team briefing.
