Transak is the leading global on/off-ramp infrastructure for crypto, trusted by over 450 web3 applications. We enable users in 80+ countries to seamlessly convert between fiat and crypto, powering over $60M–$70M in monthly transaction volume.
At the heart of Transak's core engine is our ability to price competitively and execute efficiently across multiple venues - crypto exchanges, DEXs, market makers, and OTC desks - while maintaining robust inventory and treasury systems.
About the Role
We're hiring a Crypto Trading and Pricing Engineer to build and manage the systems that drive our inventory restocking, real-time pricing, and P&L optimization. You’ll design algorithmic trading and pricing engines, integrate with liquidity providers, and ensure we are competitive, capital-efficient, and compliant.
This is a high-impact engineering and trading role that requires hands-on experience with algorithmic trading systems, financial risk management, and low-latency architecture. You’ll own the technical and operational backbone of how crypto inventory is sourced and priced for millions of users globally.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain automated trading systems that restock Transak’s crypto inventory across CEXs, DEXs, OTC desks, and aggregators using APIs and WebSocket feeds.
Develop an algorithmic pricing engine to quote fiat-crypto and token swap transactions in real time across 80+ countries and 100+ cryptocurrncies methods.
Maximize profit and minimize slippage, inventory outages, and latency across a $60M–$70M monthly flow while staying within risk thresholds.
Build systems to monitor real-time price movements, identify arbitrage or spread opportunities, and route orders optimally.
Implement real-time P&L tracking, exposure monitoring, and inventory accounting systems to support treasury and finance.
Collaborate with product, engineering, and compliance teams to define pricing logic, markups, FX handling, and fee models.
Set risk controls and fail-safes to prevent catastrophic losses from faulty strategies or API outages.
Own dashboards and tooling for pricing visibility, inventory health, and trading performance.
What You’ll Need
3+ years of experience in algorithmic trading, HFT, or pricing engineering in crypto, FX, or fintech.
Proven software engineering skills and the ability to build scalable, fault-tolerant systems from scratch (Python preferred).
Strong understanding of market structure across CEXs (e.g., Binance, Coinbase), DEXs (e.g., Uniswap, 1inch), and OTC liquidity networks.
Deep comfort working with WebSocket feeds, trading APIs, and execution management systems.
Solid grasp of trading concepts: slippage, latency, arbitrage, spreads, inventory management, and risk control.
Experience modeling pricing and fees and working with treasury capital in a fast-paced environment.
Data fluency: ability to model, backtest, and analyze pricing logic and performance using Python, MongoDB, or Excel.
Why Join Us
Own the technical systems powering $60M+/month in crypto trading and pricing.
Shape the future of how real-time pricing drives conversion and margin in the crypto economy.
Join a high-growth, well-funded company at the intersection of fintech and web3.
