Position Summary

We are seeking a Senior Quantitative Trader to lead a high-performing trading team and drive our crypto market making operations. This role demands a hands-on leader who excels at both practical trading execution and team development. The ideal candidate will have proven experience in building and optimizing trading systems, with a focus on immediate market opportunities rather than theoretical strategies. You should have a very entrepreneurial mindset. You will directly manage a lean team of quants and traders while maintaining significant personal responsibilities. Success in this role requires a builder's mindset - understanding and designing systems end-to-end, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing practical enhancements. We prioritize candidates who demonstrate a track record of rapid strategy deployment and realistic market-making approaches over purely academic experience.
