• Partner closely with trading developers to enhance pricing models, execution logic, and booking systems.
• Identify opportunities to improve trading infrastructure and contribute to the continuous evolution of the team's quantitative capabilities.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in systematic or electronic trading environments, with a strong understanding of crypto markets preferred.
• Proficient in Python, C++, or Java; enthusiastic about deepening technical expertise in a high-performance trading context.

• Medical insurance package with extended coverage to dependents.
• Attractive annual leave entitlement including birthday and work anniversary.
