Innovation, Integrity, Humility and Accountability
We foster a culture of integrity, humility and accountability. We believe first and foremost in hiring individuals with high integrity as this is the “North star” that will guide us through challenging times. Our industry tends to attract a lot of bright people, but we believe it is also important for our employees to possess a degree of humility in our approach towards trading. This not only helps create a culture of collaboration but also serves to manage firm level risk. Finally, we expect our employees to take pride and accountability in their work. Having a strong sense of ownership ensures that we rise to the occasion when the time calls for it.

Northstar’s Holistic Approach
Candidates should apply to join Northstar if they see themselves as extremely competitive, quantitative and even-keeled. We aren’t looking for “rockstars”, but quiet fierce competitors who love the challenge presented by a nascent and inefficient market. Our ideal candidate is a great poker player and a great coder wrapped into one person.
