• Partner closely with risk, operations, and engineering to improve OMS/EMS workflows, automation, alerts, and real-time risk monitoring
• Maintain an institutional-grade process: pre-trade controls, post-trade analysis, reconciliations, documentation, and audit readiness
• Contribute to the evolution of G20's market-neutral platform, including strategy refinement and new opportunity assessment
  
  

Requirements

• Degree in Quantitative Finance, Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline; top-tier university preferred
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in crypto derivatives, market-neutral, or relative-value trading

• Comfortable working with execution systems and data; able to collaborate effectively with quants and engineers
• Experience with institutional custody and collateral frameworks (e.g. Fireblocks, Copper, Anchorage, or equivalent)
• Calm under volatility, process-driven, and comfortable operating within defined risk limits
• Clear communicator with the ability to explain strategy, risk, and performance to internal stakeholders
  
  

Preferred / Desirable Experience
