About this role

ABOUT RAVEN

Raven is a proprietary crypto market-making and high-frequency trading firm. We trade spot, perpetuals, and prediction markets with dedicated low-latency infrastructure across eight major trading regions.

We hire competitive individuals and natural problem solvers with a record of ranking at something hard, whether competitive programming, games, or mathematics, who treat an unfamiliar problem as a challenge rather than an obstacle. We can teach markets; we cannot teach drive.

We build our own stack end to end, from connectivity and pricing through execution, monitoring, and research data.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who can own full-cycle hiring, build pipelines proactively, and help us scale with exceptional people across engineering, trading, and operations.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

  • Own full-cycle recruiting, from intake through sourcing, screening, interviews, offer, and close
  • Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements
  • Build strong talent pipelines for priority roles, most of which are senior and technical
  • Proactively source passive candidates across Europe
  • Run first-stage screens, assessing skills, motivation, and culture fit
  • Coordinate and drive the interview process
  • Support offer preparation, negotiation, and closing top candidates
  • Represent Raven at events and in communities
  • Track and improve hiring metrics
  • Continuously improve recruiting workflows, templates, and hiring playbooks
  • Build and maintain Raven's employer brand in target markets

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Qualifications

  • 2+ years experience in recruiting or talent acquisition
  • Strong sourcing skills
  • Experience hiring senior technical profiles
  • Comfortable reaching out and building relationships across Europe
  • Organised, data-driven, high ownership mindset

Nice to have

  • Experience in crypto, HFT, fintech, or Web3 hiring
  • Familiarity with the Rust or systems programming community

Let's meet, if you...

  • Want full responsibility and ownership of your work from day one
  • Are excited to join a highly skilled, driven team
  • Thrive in a fast-moving environment with no bureaucracy
  • Want to win the candidate, not just fill the pipeline
  • Are genuinely curious about what makes people tick

‍

Life at Raven

We're an ambitious team building the future of algorithmic trading. You'll work closely with sharp engineers and traders who care deeply about the quality of their work, the systems they build, and the people they build them with.

We move fast, we think rigorously, and we take the time to do things right. If you're excited by hard problems, motivated by ownership, and want to help shape how we hire, we'd like to hear from you. Our teams are based in Sofia and Milan, and this role is based in one of those offices.

LOGISTICS

- Sofia (Bulgaria) or Milan (Italy), with no preference between them. Whichever city the right person is in 
- In office, not remote
- Crypto trades around the clock. You will share a sane on-call rotation with the team that owns these systems
