Required

Strong Python skills - you have 1-3 years of experience coding in Python, be that through work, study or personal project experience - we will test!

Excellent quantitative and analytical skills - we will test!

Trading knowledge isn't required but a strong willingness and curiosity to learn algorithmic, high-frequency, quantitative and liquidity provision trading is crucial. We will be testing you on your trading intuition

Have an owner mentality - you focus on ultimate result (short and long-term P&L for the company), focus on strategically growing the business for the future vs 'cashing-in' fast

Love problem solving, and love seeing your products work; you do whatever it takes to do what's needed (trading, coding, analysing data, collaborating)

Determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to work hard and learn on the way

Like meritocracy and being judged by what you deliver

Have an entrepreneurial mindset versus working 9-to-5 mentality; prepared to work non-standard working hours (since we are a high-growth startup operating in a 24/7 crypto world)

Like working in a team environment
