// Careers

Build the tools we wish existed.

Kautilya puts an institutional-grade quant desk in the hands of Indian retail investors. We're a small team that ships fast and cares about getting the numbers right. If that sounds like you, one of these is yours to own.

Software Engineer · Backend

Full-time

You'll own services that price options in real time, run Monte Carlo VaR on live portfolios, and move market data at scale without falling over. This is quant-grade backend — correctness and latency both matter.

  • Strong Python: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, async / asyncpg, PostgreSQL on AWS.
  • Comfortable with real-time data — WebSockets, schedulers, Redis, NumPy / SciPy.
  • You use LLMs efficiently: you know when AI is the right tool versus deterministic code, and how to keep token cost and latency sane (prompt design, caching, batching).
  • Bonus: options / derivatives or market-data experience.

Equity Researcher

Full-time

You'll build the equity research that underpins how Kautilya values companies — rigorous, fundamentals-first, and driven by the numbers.

  • You understand equity research — how to go from a company to a defensible view on what it's worth.
  • A strong grasp of fundamentals: reading filings, understanding the business and its drivers.
  • Very good with numbers — comfortable living in financial statements and models.
  • In the interview, you'll pitch us a stock — come ready.

Senior Risk Analyst

Full-time

You'll shape how Kautilya measures and explains portfolio risk — VaR, stress scenarios, factor exposure — for real Indian portfolios, not textbook ones.

  • You've worked in portfolio management or wealth management — you've managed real money or real clients.
  • Deep with VaR, stress testing, scenario analysis and portfolio-construction techniques.
  • A strong maths or physics background is a real plus, paired with hands-on financial experience.
  • Strong grasp of Indian markets — F&O, indices, sector structure.
  • You can turn a risk number into a decision a client actually understands.

Video Editor

Full-time / Contract

You turn raw footage and market ideas into reels and videos people actually finish watching. Fast turnaround, production-ready output.

  • Strong editing craft — pacing, motion, captions, sound design.
  • A reel portfolio that proves you can make finance content genuinely watchable.
  • Comfortable owning the edit end-to-end for Instagram, YouTube and shorts.

Social Media Content Creator · Finance

Full-time

A face-of-the-brand role. You'll build Kautilya's channels from the ground up — research your own topics, script them, and present them on camera for YouTube, Instagram and wherever finance audiences are. On-camera presence and charisma matter as much as the ideas, because that's what makes people watch.

  • You genuinely understand how social platforms work — what earns views, retention and shares, and how to grow a channel from zero.
  • You can run a new channel end-to-end: content calendar, hooks, trends, community.
  • Your videos can go technical enough that a wealth advisor or fund manager respects them — while still sparking curiosity in a first-time retail viewer.
  • Comfortable and confident on camera — willing to be the face, do your own research, and appear across YouTube, Instagram and more.
  • Real finance knowledge, or the discipline to learn fast and get it right.
  • Bring links to anything you've made — and a short clip of you presenting to camera.
