About the Company
Quant is the foundation of digital finance.
Assets of all kinds, from sovereign currencies to funds, are being tokenised on distributed ledgers - making their ownership immutable, their provenance traceable and their use programmable. Our patented technology makes all this simple, trusted and future-proof.
We help regulated financial institutions and other enterprises to dramatically reduce their time-to-market, create new revenue lines, and mitigate risk by delivering digital currency, payments and capital markets projects with security, resilience, and compliance front of mind >
Founded in 2018, Quant is UK-based with global reach. We spearheaded the Blockchain ISO Standard TC307 adopted by 57 countries and solved interoperability with the creation of the world’s first API-based blockchain platform. This technology, the same as that relied on by our institutional customers, is now available to any developer, regardless of their sector or level of blockchain expertise: Overledger, the enterprise standard for building on blockchain >

Our Shared Values
We have expertise in finance and technology in common but what unites us is our beliefs. We believe in:
Innovation: We love a challenge and have little respect for the status quo. Experience has taught us that problems are a matter of perspective and that, with new ideas and a fresh way of looking at things, solutions often present themselves.
Ambition: The scale of a task won’t deter us when we believe it will take as closer to our vision. Every problem is an opportunity. Every obstacle, the chance to take a calculated risk and question assumptions. In short, we’re not afraid to think big.
Trust: Fundamental to a prosperous economy, trust also lies at the heart of our company. Indeed, we believe it is the bedrock of a healthy society committed to equality and fairness. We trust each other, we engineer trust into our solutions, and we work hard every day to earn the trust of our clients and partners.
Adaptability: We remain open-minded, objective and flexible at all times. When the facts change, so does our approach. We embrace that agility and encourage all those we work with to do the same.
Respect: We’re respectful of the ideas and perspectives of others, we celebrate people’s differences and recognise their achievements. We also hold the needs and health of our environment dear. And we have no tolerance for bullying, harassment, or discrimination of any kind.
Whilst applications may be reviewed as they are received, we anticipate to not accept any further applications after 5pm BST on Friday 16th August 2024.
