Responsibilities
- Develop, implement, and oversee systematic and discretionary strategies across spot, derivatives, and DeFi markets.
- Allocate capital across strategies and adjust positions in line with market conditions and risk appetite.
- Collaborate with quantitative researchers and engineers to bring new strategies from research to live deployment.
- Assess liquidity, market microstructure, and counterparty exposures across multiple venues.
- Manage both proprietary portfolios and client-driven mandates, balancing returns, liquidity provision, and risk discipline.
- Contribute to internal and external insights on crypto portfolio strategy and market trends.
Qualifications

- Strong coding skills in Python and/or C++ for strategy research and risk analysis.
- Demonstrated track record of PnL generation or outperformance on a risk-adjusted basis.
- Ability to manage risk effectively and operate in fast-moving market environments.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Dual Market Exposure: Trade across both CeFi and DeFi environments.
- Advanced Infrastructure: Access high-performance execution, risk management, and research systems.
- Direct Influence: Portfolio decisions directly impact firm-wide performance and client outcomes.
- Collaborative Team: Work alongside experienced traders, quants, and engineers from leading trading and fintech backgrounds.
Preferred Indicators Of Excellence
- Prior leadership of a trading desk or systematic portfolio.
- Experience managing both proprietary and external capital.
- Strong academic background in a quantitative discipline.
- Comfort navigating both regulated (CeFi) and decentralised (DeFi) markets.
