• Contribute to both greenfield development and the evolution of an already sophisticated, high‑throughput tech stack.

• Experience in systematic trading or quantitative environments is advantageous.
• Genuine passion for crypto, DeFi, and cutting‑edge trading innovation.
• Strong understanding of real‑time, scalable, robust systems.
• Proven ability to architect high‑performance, end‑to‑end systems.

• Build state‑of‑the‑art systems across both centralized and decentralized markets.
• Join a culture where innovation, autonomy, and engineering excellence are core values.
• Direct impact on strategy performance and technology evolution.
