About Wintermute
Wintermute is one of the largest crypto-native algorithmic trading companies in digital assets. We provide liquidity across most major cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, offer a broad range of OTC trading solutions, and support high-profile blockchain projects and traditional financial institutions moving into digital assets. We are also expanding into prediction markets, applying our market-making, trading and liquidity expertise to this rapidly growing space and building infrastructure across new event-driven markets. Wintermute Ventures invests in early-stage DeFi and Web3 projects.
Wintermute was founded in 2017 and has successfully navigated multiple industry cycles. Culturally, we combine the technology standards and quantitative rigour of traditional high-frequency trading firms with the innovative and entrepreneurial culture of technology startups.
To Wintermute, digital assets - and emerging markets such as prediction markets - are not simply another asset class. We believe in the long-term potential of blockchain and new forms of market infrastructure, and we aim to take a leading role in building innovative, liquid and compliant markets.

- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience.
