About the job

Quantitative traders research, develop, and refine new cryptocurrency trading strategies and monitor existing positions across protocols and exchanges. The role will straddle analyzing new opportunities, formulating and testing methods for capitalizing upon them, and developing algorithmic execution to put them into operation.

• Extremely strong quantitative and analytical background
• Relevant experience in statistical modeling
• 3+ years’ industry experience developing and evaluating trading strategies in liquid markets
• Proficiency in Python
• Experience investing or trading in cryptocurrency markets
• Deep understanding of derivative instruments
• Understanding of market-making spot and futures on centralized order books
