Applications are reviewed regularly. You will receive a response within a few weeks.

AtlasVanguard welcomes collaborators from finance, quantitative research, software, data, policy, academia, and communication disciplines. You do not need to know everything on day one. AtlasVanguard is a learning environment as much as a production one.

Who we are looking for

Finance & market professionals

Traders, risk managers, analysts, portfolio strategists, and market specialists who understand how observability supports oversight and decision-making.

Quantitative researchers

Statisticians, econometricians, and financial engineers who can help turn data into defensible analysis.

Software & data engineers

People who build data pipelines, infrastructure, automation, and dependable operational tooling.

Regulators & policy analysts

Professionals who understand supervisory needs, market integrity, and the value of traceable public documentation.

Academics & students

Researchers, PhD candidates, and advanced Master’s students looking for a structured, real-world environment.

Communicators & designers

People who improve visualisation, technical writing, reporting, and how findings are understood by wider audiences.

Why join?

Work on real infrastructure

Contribute to a live observability pipeline that monitors Moroccan derivatives and market structure.

Cross-domain collaboration

Work alongside people from finance, engineering, research, and supervision, and learn from each other.

Build your public record

Public RFCs, reports, and code commits are attributable artifacts you can reference in your portfolio or institutional work.

How the intake works

01

Apply

Fill out the membership form and tell us about your background, interests, and the kinds of work you would like to support.

02

Review

The Steering Committee reviews applications for mission alignment, clarity, and where support will be most useful.

03

Onboard

Accepted members receive a Slack invitation and an initial guide or buddy. Your first weeks are about understanding the structure, meeting your SIG, and exploring ongoing work.

04

Integrate

Contribute at your own pace. You can observe, ask questions, and gradually take on tasks without pressure to produce immediately.

New members are accompanied throughout the onboarding period.

You will not be left to figure things out alone.

The collaboration environment

Slack is used for day-to-day coordination, operational communication, and early research exchange. It is not the system of record. Permanent decisions, RFCs, charters, and other durable artifacts live in the public GitHub governance repository.

The channel structure is simple and traceable: #announcements for read-only governance updates, #general for coordination, and dedicated channels for each SIG. This keeps communication transparent and protects everyone’s work by separating discussion from decision.

Governance and Slack rules are based on the official communication guidance in the public governance repository.
