Experience with distributed systems and software architecture, including modular services, asynchronous processing, message queues, orchestration and concurrency. Sound understanding of trading-system workflows, from market data and strategy signals through portfolio sizing, order submission and execution. Knowledge of portfolio positioning and collateral management, including target versus actual exposure, rebalancing and derivatives mechanics. Hands-on experience integrating external APIs, including authentication, account-state interpretation and resilient handling of failures or inconsistent data. Experience implementing operational controls and monitoring for systems where incorrect, duplicate or delayed actions can have financial consequences. Understanding of secure application integration, including credential protection, secret management and environment separation. Ability to translate investment requirements into technical solutions and explain complex system behaviour clearly to non-technical stakeholders. Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively across investment, engineering, infrastructure and trading teams. Excellent communication skills in English. Preferred QualificationsExperience implementing quantitative strategies and indicators such as moving averages, Bollinger Bands and MACD while preserving the underlying investment logic. Practical knowledge of crypto spot markets, futures and perpetuals, including long, short and hedged positioning, exchange conventions and collateral arrangements.
