Kronos Research

Kronos Research's main early-careers track is the Quantitative Research Graduate Program, aimed at recent bachelor's and master's graduates in a quantitative discipline (Computer Science, Math, Statistics, Physics, Financial Engineering, Economics) and juniors with under three years of relevant experience. The current intake, the QR Program (2026), is a graduate role with a July 2026 start, and overseas candidates are required to attend the firm's HQ Taiwan office for 12 months as part of onboarding. The firm describes the structured curriculum as a six-month journey of mentor-led training, hands-on work on large datasets, and ownership of a research project. Other open roles sit in Taiwan (Machine Learning Researcher), Singapore (Machine Learning Researcher; Experienced Quantitative Trader, remote) and Hong Kong (Crypto Portfolio Optimisation Manager). For an applicant the practical commitment is unusual relative to a typical summer-analyst role: this is a full-time graduate placement starting in summer 2026 and, for non-Taiwan candidates, a year on the ground in Taiwan rather than a 10-to-12-week internship.

Kronos Research is a quantitative trading firm headquartered in Taiwan, founded in 2018, focused on digital-asset markets — market making, liquidity provision, systematic OTC trading and investment solutions for institutional allocators. The firm's franchise is crypto-native rather than equities-first: it operates across more than 40 exchanges and, by its own description, handles billions of dollars in daily trading volume. Early-careers hiring is anchored in Taiwan, while Singapore and Hong Kong are used for full-time experienced trader and risk roles. For a candidate weighing quantitative funds, the choice is concrete: a crypto-native franchise with the graduate cohort located in Taiwan, rather than a multi-asset proprietary trading firm with rotational analyst tracks across multiple cities.

Not right now. Kronos Research has no internship or graduate roles listed today; new postings appear here as the firm opens them.

Kronos Research opened its off-cycle internships on 9 Feb 2026 last season, so expect them around 9 Feb and its graduate jobs on 9 Feb 2026 last season, so expect them around 9 Feb. Dates are when the firm posted each programme, or when we first saw it on the firm's careers site.

Applications to Kronos Research go through the firm's own careers site, one application per posting, each expecting a CV and cover letter written for that role.
