Quantitative Developer
About this role
What You’ll Do
-
Design, build, and optimize automated execution and hedging systems operating across crypto exchanges and liquidity venues.
-
Develop execution algorithms, netting mechanisms, and dynamic hedging strategies to efficiently manage trade flow and market exposure.
-
Build systems to manage, rebalance, and risk-manage inventory positions resulting from trading and execution activity.
-
Own the full lifecycle: from quantitative research, backtesting, and simulation to implementation, deployment, monitoring, and live performance tuning.
-
Analyze market microstructure, order book dynamics, execution quality, slippage, and trading performance to identify opportunities and continuously improve strategies.
-
Build high-throughput, low-latency trading systems using Go for core execution services and Python for research, analysis, and strategy development.
-
Make pragmatic architectural and quantitative decisions, balancing execution quality, latency, risk, reliability, and trading costs.
-
Continuously improve live trading systems with a focus on performance, observability, resiliency, and operational excellence.
What We’re Looking For
-
Strong fundamentals in computer science, algorithms, data structures, and quantitative problem solving.
-
Hands-on experience building quantitative trading, algorithmic trading, execution, or HFT systems.
-
Strong understanding of market microstructure, order books, execution, slippage, and liquidity.
-
Experience with execution algorithms, netting, dynamic or delta hedging, and inventory management.
-
Deep understanding of crypto market structure and exchange mechanics, including REST/WebSocket APIs and real-time market data.
-
Strong experience with Go (Golang) for concurrent, high-throughput, performance-sensitive systems.
-
Proficiency in Python for research, data analysis, backtesting, simulation, and strategy prototyping.
-
Ability to go beyond implementation: challenge assumptions, translate market behavior into quantitative hypotheses, and continuously improve execution and hedging strategies.
-
Experience building and operating resilient, production-grade systems in 24/7 real-time markets.
-
Familiarity with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, queueing systems, and modern cloud environments is a strong plus.
-
A mindset of ownership and accountability — you care about execution quality, risk, and live trading performance, not just the code.
How We Work
- Full ownership — you don’t wait, you solve.
- First principles mindset — you question assumptions and rebuild where needed.
- Balance speed & quality — you ship fast, but always clean.
- Product mindset — you care about the user impact, not just the code.
- Calm under pressure — incidents happen; you lead with clarity and composure.
