About Us
Our Vision
Our vision is to build the ultimate automated trading business.
We see a future where CSiL.ai will trade all highly liquid electronically tradable asset classes across all domains, generating sustainable, substantial returns for our proprietary capital.
The technology we are developing is based on modular intelligent components that are shared across as many of our trading strategies as possible to maximize impact. The high degree of automation in our systems means our staff can focus on the most meaningful creative tasks, working collaboratively across all parts of our business to add value.
There's so much more we imagine and want to build
And this is just the beginning
Finding and Retaining Exceptional Talent
People are at the core of our business. We strive to create an environment where people thrive and grow.
Maximizing Opportunities
Many businesses think this means maximizing short-term profits. That's not what we mean - we focus on supporting opportunities for long-term growth, health, and success of our business. Reliable, sustainable revenue is more important to us than short-term gains.
Automating Repetitive Work
Automation wherever possible frees up time for new innovative projects, so we love developing tools that optimize everyone's workflows. While we can't automate everything, and sometimes we need to weigh trade-offs and prioritize work, we take this work seriously and make space for it wherever we can.
Adopting Robust Processes and Technology
Our Guiding Principles
Our guiding principles influence the decisions we make and how we think about our work. These principles are our pillars - they remind us what's important.
Our Values
Our values are the foundation of our business. They support our vision, shape our culture, and reflect the character of our employees. They are inherent traits of our business - traits that are special to us, critical to our success, and must be maintained at all costs. We created these values to describe what matters most to us, but you can also look at them from another angle, seeing them as the opposite of what we try to avoid.
A Friendly Group
We are friendly, considerate, and kind people. We take care of each other, are generous, and help when others need it. We are honest, upright, and value others. We treat people fairly and compassionately, which might mean sometimes saying difficult things - like giving honest feedback. We understand that acting this way means building trust and making it easier to create a collaborative, supportive environment.
Humble
We acknowledge our limitations, accept help, and are happy to say "I don't know." Unfortunately, business can be an environment of ego inflation, but we try to avoid that. Instead, we take a learner's stance -- we like learning from those around us, not acting like the smartest person in the room. When we receive advice, we're grateful. We respect and are patient with those who know less than we do. We share team successes and don't blame others.
Entrepreneurial
We are passionate about the business, deeply care about its health and success, and treat it as our own. We think pragmatically, focusing on outcomes that benefit the business's health and long-term success. We do whatever the business needs, whether that's taking risks on new ideas, stopping delivery services, or rolling up our sleeves to help other departments. We're always looking for ways to improve how we work, seeing incremental improvement as key to meaningful long-term growth. We understand that failure is not just for learning but necessary for innovation, so we don't try to make things "perfect" before they're ready. We take a broad business perspective, working to understand the wider business landscape and consider the consequences of today's decisions.
Collaborative
Success isn't just about the work itself, but how people work together to get it done. We enjoy working closely with others, sharing ideas, tasks, successes, and failures. We're one team working toward shared goals, not many small teams working independently. We spend time mentoring and supporting those around us, seeking others' opinions, welcoming feedback, and asking for help. When we see something that could be improved, we raise it, even if it's not related to our work. We merge quantitative analyst and developer roles for this reason -- we want ideas to flow naturally. We understand that having a collaborative environment means more ideas, better problem-solving, more learning, and better relationships. Simply put: we achieve more together than we do alone.
