Join Us in Shaping the Future of Systematic Investing

At AE Capital, we combine data, technology, & human insight to navigate & forecast financial markets.

Every team member makes a tangible impact as we pioneer new frontiers in finance and technology.

We’ve been doing this since 2011, and we’ve deliberately kept the team small and the bar high. A small, exceptional team can move faster and achieve more than a much larger one weighed down by process.

Why AE Capital?

Mentorship that invests in you

Real ownership, earlier than you'd get elsewhere

Genuine innovation, built from scratch

Low bureaucracy, high autonomy

A flat, collaborative team with broad exposure

Also worth knowing

Flexibility to work from home when needed — we care about outcomes and quality, not hours at a desk
A deliberately small, high-caliber team, built over more than a decade
Based in Melbourne, consistently ranked as one of the world's best and most liveable cities
Genuinely rewarding work — hard, but worth it (just ask our team!)

Who thrives here?

Passionate about finance, data science, or technology
Effective communicators and natural team players
Self-motivated, analytical problem solvers
Detail-oriented and committed to quality
Adaptable, curious, and innovative

What our current employees have to say

“When I joined AE, I had very little knowledge of electronic trading. Since then, I have contributed to many greenfield projects, had a lot of ownership, and learned far more about finance than I expected. There is a great collaborative atmosphere where you are well supported, but also have the freedom to experiment and own your own projects. It has been hard work, but extremely rewarding.”

“Coming right out of university, AE Capital has been an incredible environment for my growth. The senior leadership team is committed to mentoring individuals both professionally and technically, even spending time to work with me 1 on 1. It’s been super motivating to work somewhere where your efforts are consistently noticed and rewarded.”

“Working at AE Capital means full-stack exposure to a modern toolchain — C# at the core, with Python, bash, AWS, Docker, Grafana and Buildkite all part of the day-to-day — applied to genuinely complex problems in a constantly evolving industry. With a small team and no silos, you own features end-to-end and see their impact directly on PnL.”
