This role provides the unique opportunity to combine the quantitative aspects of finance with creative problem solving in order to develop trade ideas in a fast paced proprietary trading environment.

What you’ll be doing:

• Identifying and analysing upcoming volatility events
• Providing real‑time opinions on breaking news
• Evaluating special situations such as mergers and acquisitions and other corporate actions
• Collaborating with derivative traders on investment ideas
• Traveling to company events and conferences as required
• Performing token valuation analysis

What we’re looking for:

• Minimum of a Bachelor's degree
• 3 years’ + experience in financial markets or progress towards CFA qualification an advantage
• Crypto specific experience strongly preferred
• Strong written, analytical, and financial research skills
• Demonstrable interest in, and some knowledge of, macroeconomic environment and political events
• Ability to prioritize and complete multiple tasks in a fast paced, dynamic environment
• Familiarity with a trading environment and derivative products preferred
• Must be a self-starter, a quick learner, an effective communicator, and resourceful in solving problems
• Willingness to work additional and flexible hours when necessary
