Crypto Trader - Market Making & On-Chain Execution

Team: Trading

Type: Full-Time

About Us

We are a leading crypto-native market maker and liquidity provider operating across both centralized and decentralized venues. Our team is lean, technical, and fast-moving, and we’re building the next generation of automated market-making infrastructure to scale liquidity across the full spectrum of crypto assets.

Role Overview

We’re looking for an experienced Trader with a deep understanding of both centralized exchange (CEX) execution and native on-chain trading across DeFi ecosystems. The ideal candidate combines trading intuition with hands-on experience deploying and managing capital on-chain—whether across DEXs or CEXs.

You’ll work directly with the Head of Trading and Engineering to execute, manage, and optimize strategies across our market-making footprint. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in dynamic markets and understands how to extract alpha while managing risk and inventory efficiently.

Responsibilities

• Actively manage market-making and arbitrage strategies across CEXs and DEXs
• Deploy and rebalance liquidity in concentrated DEX pools Contribute to inventory management and maintain risk-balanced positions using delta-neutral, basis, and volatility-informed strategies
• Actively deploy and manage liquidity across AMMs (e.g. Uniswap V3/V4, Raydium, Meteora)
• Execute on-chain trades manually and via bots across multiple chains (Ethereum, Solana, Base, etc.)
• Work closely with engineering to iterate on internal tools, bots, and strategy code
• Identify new trading opportunities across emerging protocols and ecosystems
• Monitor risk and exposure in real-time and respond swiftly to market events
• React to macro events, market flows, and funding imbalances with appropriate risk posture
• Support token launch and liquidity provisioning events in collaboration with clients and partners

Requirements

• 2–5 years experience trading crypto or traditional assets in a professional setting
• Strong quantitative, analytical, and decision-making skills under pressure
• Comfortable writing or modifying scripts (Python preferred) for trading or monitoring
• Understanding of risk frameworks: inventory, counterparty, on-chain slippage, and volatility exposure
• Proven track record managing positions and executing trades across DeFi protocols
• Deep knowledge of DeFi mechanics: AMMs, liquidity pools, perpetuals, staking, yield strategies, MEV
• Self-directed, highly accountable, and operationally disciplined

Nice to Have

• Experience collaborating with engineering teams on trading infrastructure
• Experience with Solidity or interacting with smart contracts directly
• Familiarity with perpetual decentralized exchange protocols
• Background in market microstructure or HFT
• Track open interest, perp skew, rate differentials, and L2 flows to anticipate structural shifts
• Familiarity with on-chain tooling such as Glassnode, Dune Analytics, Etherscan, DEX aggregators, and node/RPC infrastructure

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation + performance-based bonuses.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge financial systems with high-impact teams.
• Tech-forward culture with strong engineering autonomy.
