About the company

Tanius Technology uses machine learning to design and run large-scale proprietary trading strategies across fixed income, oil futures, precious metals, and equity indexes for institutional clients. It builds trading models that scan markets, detect inefficiencies, and automatically place orders across multiple asset classes, with software tested and refined by engineers in office or remote settings and continuously learning from market data. Its approach centers on in-house development of proprietary algorithms and a collaborative culture, plus flexible work options, rather than relying on standard tools. The goal is to generate profits from market inefficiencies by applying scalable, data-driven trading strategies to multiple markets for institutional clients.
