Description

At Flowdesk, we are building the infrastructure powering the next era of global finance. As a full-service digital asset trading and technology firm, we provide liquidity solutions, OTC trading, and market infrastructure that connect digital assets to global markets with institutional-grade precision, transparency, and scale.

Founded in 2020, we are a global team supporting institutions, exchanges, and token issuers to enable a tokenized financial markets ecosystem.

Why join Flowdesk? You’ll be joining a company operating at the intersection of finance, technology, and crypto; solving complex market problems, building critical infrastructure, and helping shape how digital assets connect to global liquidity. We move fast, think long term, and work with a strong ownership mindset across engineering, trading, product, operations, and business teams.

For this role, we are actively looking for bright, young talent who are enthusiastic about learning and developing their trading skills. This opportunity in a fast-paced environment, where there is a strong emphasis on in-depth research and the generation of alpha. Successful candidates will be immersed in a challenging yet rewarding atmosphere, gaining hands‑on experience and contributing to innovative trading strategies.

• Provide first-level support to the trading activities.
• Develop and improve trading strategies on both centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges.
• Generate post-trade analysis reports.
• Assist traders in their day-to-day crypto operations.
• Own a 6 month project to deliver at the end of the internship.

Requirements

• Background and experience
• Master’s degree in Quantitative Finance, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Statistics.
• Strong coding skills with proficiency in Python and SQL; Rust experience is a plus.
• Solid understanding of cryptocurrency concepts, including wallets, blockchains, smart contracts, and stablecoins.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks effectively in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.
• Fluent in spoken and written English.
• Conditions to participate in the Early Talent Program
• Start Date, starting from October 2026
• What would be the Internship duration? 6 months (5 days in a week, full time, on-site)

• International environment (English is the main language)
• 50% of transportation costs & a sustainable mobility agreement
• Swile lunch voucher (€9.25 per day, 60% covered)

Recruitment Process

Our process is consistent across all roles and is designed to assess genuine technical depth. Candidates should expect the following stages

• Stage 1: Online technical assessment
• Stage 2: Onsite interview with the Trading team (60')
• Stage 3: Wrap-up interview with TA (30')

On the agenda, discussions rather than trick questions! These moments of exchange will allow you to understand how Flowdesk works and its values. But they are also (and above all) an opportunity for you to present your career path and your expectations for your next job!

We are committed to an inclusive and accessible recruitment process. If you require any reasonable adjustments or have specific needs to enable you to participate fully in the interview or assessment process (e.g., a sign language interpreter, extra time for a test, or an accessible location), please contact us to discuss how we can support you.
