We are a Quantitative Trading firm building proprietary trading products and infrastructure for crypto markets (both DeFi and CeFi). We are focusing heavily on building up our DeFi capabilities and are looking for a hungry DeFi native engineer to help us conceptualize and build our DeFi strategies and infrastructure.
We are a high-output research team of 5 from a variety of backgrounds, spanning from Machine Learning and System Engineering, all the way to fintech and business.
We build products for both internal and external use to uncover alpha opportunities in different areas of crypto markets, including trading both on centralized and decentralized exchanges (DeFi) and building systems to streamline order execution, gather and digest complex timeseries data streams.
We are looking for a DeFi Software Engineer who has a deep understanding of blockchain and is curious about algorithmic trading. You should be excited about making sense of large quantities of data, and decision modelling on time series, real-time data.
