This should be accompanied by a genuine curiosity about HFT, market making, and crypto trading. You will be working on the front line with the traders to expand and improve trading activities across multiple markets and strategies. This is a highly cross-functional role offering direct exposure to all areas of the business. You will have the opportunity to learn directly from traders and be at the centre of the action, as well as collaborate with developers to integrate and upgrade infrastructure.

Hard Skills Requirements • Strong Python Skills: strong experience coding in Python within a collaborative development environment (work, team projects, or open-source) - we will test! • Though we are seeking talented graduates, we are still open to experienced individuals coming from analytical roles or software development. • Good quantitative and analytical skills. • Trading knowledge isn't strictly required for this role, but a strong willingness and curiosity to learn algorithmic, high-frequency, quantitative, and market-making trading is crucial. Candidates should possess trading intuition (e.g., understanding risk, market dynamics, and what fundamentally separates a good trade from a bad trade). • An understanding of DeFi and Blockchain would be a valuable bonus in this role. Here is why you should join our dynamic team: • Opportunity to work at one of the world's leading algorithmic trading firms. • Engaging projects offering accelerated responsibilities and ownership compared to traditional finance environments. • A vibrant working culture with frequent team meals, holiday celebrations, gaming events, and company-wide outings. • Great company culture: informal, non-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional with a startup vibe, collaborative and entrepreneurial. • A performance-based compensation with a significant earning potential alongside standard perks like private health insurance.
