Careers

Join an emerging quant-driven prop desk.

Velocity Funds is building a modern, algorithmic futures prop firm — and the primary way we recruit traders isn’t through résumés. It’s through live performance inside our evaluations.

Traders · Evaluation-to-Desk Path

Your application is your trading.

If you want to trade with Velocity Funds, the path is simple: you prove your edge inside our evaluation framework, not in a PDF or cover letter.

• Step 1: Choose a Velocity Starter account (25K, 50K, 100K)
• Step 2: Pass the evaluation with disciplined, consistent performance
• Step 3: Trade in Velocity Funded and build a live track record
• Step 4: Standout performers may be invited in-house as desk traders for our future quant arm

We’re actively watching consistency, risk discipline, and how you behave around liquidity and volatility — not just PnL. If you think in structure, there’s a seat here for you long term.

How we actually “hire” traders.

Velocity Funds doesn’t believe in separating evaluation from recruitment. The entire point of our evaluation and funded programs is to surface real, raw trading talent — traders who think in probability, structure, and risk-adjusted returns.

No résumés. Just performance.

We don’t need a traditional background to take you seriously. If you can demonstrate consistent edge inside our framework, that says more than any credential.

We review trader performance over time, not just one lucky run. Longevity, discipline, and how you behave under pressure matter more to us than a single big day.

A real pathway into our growing quant operation.

Velocity Funds is actively expanding its quantitative and algorithmic trading efforts. As we build out that side of the firm, the first traders we look at aren’t outsiders — they’re the individuals who have already proven they can execute with discipline inside our evaluation and funded framework.

Passing an evaluation doesn’t guarantee a seat on a desk — but it does put you on our radar. Traders who consistently demonstrate rule-based execution, statistical thinking, and composure under pressure are the ones we routinely flag for deeper review as new roles open.

If your long-term goal is to trade professionally within an institutional environment, the best step you can take is simple: begin your evaluation and approach it like the first stage of a real interview process — because for the strongest performers, it is.
