Argus reads continuously, debates every thesis, and routes every trade through human approval.
A signal becomes a thesis only when independent agents reach it from different directions.
Argued before recommendation. Attached to the trade. Replayable at exit.
All gates fail closed. A passing recommendation has cleared every layer.
The monitor watches each position against its own invalidation criteria, not the tape.
Inputs, model version, reasoning, output. A short hash recovers any decision the firm has ever made.
“The traditional path into this industry asks you to spend a decade learning to do work that software will do better in five. We would rather spend that decade building the software.”
Pentamerus is led by Nicholas von Bodungen. The team is intentionally small. One team runs one system, end to end.
We look for technical range, strong independent thinking, and the discipline to execute over long horizons. The work does not separate cleanly into research, engineering, or trading roles, and the team is structured accordingly.
Our ambition is to build the firm that defines what AI-native investment management looks like in the next decade. We measure progress in performance, not commentary.
If that aligns with the work you aspire to do, write to us. We would like to hear from you.
Meaningful equity and performance share that mirrors the firm's. You earn against what you helped build, not against tenure.
A team this small means each person owns full systems. The work you ship is what the firm trades on, and the result lands on the same desk.
