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.
Responsibilities
- Designing, building and testing smart contracts and related infrastructure
- Researching new DeFi protocols and its connectors and building on them
- Building real-time monitoring tools and working with our team on latency-sensitive operations
- Ethereum Node Infrastructure setup and maintenance
- Work with the team on devising new trading strategies and uncovering opportunities
Qualifications
- Deep technical and practical understanding of DeFi protocols and DevOps practices for interfacing with them (both Ethereum and any other relevant one) - Must have extensive knowledge of Solidity, smart contract development (web3js or ethersjs) and testing.
- Knowledge of Javascript (knowledge of Golang/Python programming is nice to have).
- Must be comfortable working with either hardhat or truffle.
- Comfortable working in a dynamic, research-oriented team with several ongoing concurrent projects
- You look forward to working with an interdisciplinary team that longs to find solutions together.
- Knowledge of trading isn't required but interest in the field is paramount. If you are a self-taught wiz who has tried its hands at DeFi trading and AMM, even better!
The number of years of experience does not matter as long as you have built complex projects from scratch, a burning desire to learn more, constantly improve yourself and solving tricky problems on a daily basis. We're a small team so you can assure yourself that whatever you contribute - in terms of an engineer, or otherwise - is always heard and discussed.
Benefits

- A young startup work environment, where your initiatives and ideas count and are rewarded
- A unique open research environment, where everybody contributes and sees the full spectrum of our work, from inception to production
- The chance to shape our firm's legacy and exchange knowledge with the team on every part of what we do.
The role location is preferably Hyderabad with to be able to brainstorm in person with the R&D team, but remote in India is also possible.
