Job description

Being a Quant Trader is neither a part-time job nor a full-time job. It’s a lifestyle. The crypto markets are opened 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, you need to be passionate about the job, always want to follow the developments in the crypto space, and most of all, love watching the markets. You need to be excited to spot opportunities and work closely with the team. It is a rewarding job, but that comes at the cost of always wanting to be present, whether it is day or night.

Together with the trading team, you are responsible for the execution of the trades, the PnL, and working on the day-to-day trading operations. You are always looking for the best results in terms of developing, maintaining, and improving the trading strategies. In this dynamic environment, you are triggered by being faster and smarter than the competitors. Next to the trading team, you also work closely with our research and technology teams.

Who are you

• You have a Master’s degree in Physics, Mathematics, Quantitative Finance, Econometrics, or equivalent.
• You always want to follow the market developments.
• Team player with a competitive and goal-oriented mindset and strong analytical skills.
• Ability to spot opportunities and capitalize on them.
• Capability to make split-second decisions.
• Experience with programming (Python or another language).
• Pro-active, a self-starter, honest, flexible, and stress-resistant.

What we offer

• Excellent remuneration (including discretionary bonus).
• Fun and inspiring work environment.
• Experienced and knowledgeable colleagues.
• 25 vacation days.
• Additional perks: going out for dinner regularly, Friday afternoon drinks, yearly office trip, weekly massages, and an excellent free lunch.
