About Iqana Iqana is a Barcelona-based quantitative trading firm building systematic, risk-managed exposure to digital assets. We are registered with the CNMV and were the first firm in Spain authorized under MiCA to provide discretionary crypto portfolio management — which means our systems run real institutional capital under real regulatory scrutiny.
We serve family offices, hedge funds and asset managers through non-custodial separately managed accounts (SMAs). Our proprietary strategies and risk framework sit on infrastructure we build ourselves: data ingestion, strategy research, execution, monitoring and reporting.
We've chosen to stay small. Under ten people run the entire firm, and we intend to keep the bar high rather than the headcount. In practice that means no layers between you and the people making decisions: you work directly with the founders and C-level, and with advisors who have built and run this kind of business before. The systems you build now are the ones Iqana will run on for years.

About the Opportunity
We're looking for a Software Engineer to help build and scale the backbone of our trading and SMA execution platform.
Your primary axis is data and execution infrastructure: market data pipelines, venue integrations, and the execution and monitoring systems that keep client accounts trading correctly. A growing secondary axis is the tooling behind our AI research workflows — the agentic pipeline our quant team uses to generate, audit and backtest strategy ideas.
The difference between this and most crypto engineering roles is the standard of correctness. Regulated discretionary management means our pipelines are auditable, our execution is reconciled, and mistakes are visible to clients and to the regulator. If building systems that have to be right appeals to you more than shipping fast and cleaning up later, you'll enjoy this.
You'll work directly with our CTO alongside quant researchers, ML engineers and software engineers.
