Job description

About BlockTech

As a Quantitative Trader on our Singapore trading floor, you'll own positions and PnL end-to-end from interpreting live market flow and liquidity through tuning and intervening in our automated systems, all the way to shaping the next generation of execution logic and trading tools.

You'll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Quantitative Researchers, Quantitative Developers, and Software Engineers, and your decisions will directly drive how we trade across venues.

The role

• Managing and monitoring Delta1 positions across multiple venues, owning the PnL and risk that comes with them

• Reading live market flow, liquidity conditions, and market events, and translating that read into concrete trading and execution decisions

• Tuning and parameterising our automated and semi-automated systems, and knowing when to step in to manage risk or capture an opportunity

• Improving execution quality and market-making performance through data-driven analysis of strategy behaviour

• Designing and specifying the trading tools, dashboards, and analytics that the desk relies on to make decisions

• Collaborating closely with researchers, developers, and engineers to sharpen models, infrastructure, and execution logic, and shaping the roadmap for new trading initiatives

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of experience as a Quantitative Trader and/or Quantitative Researcher in a professional trading environment, with demonstrated PnL responsibility on linear (Delta1) products across multiple venues

• Hands-on experience operating automated and semi-automated trading systems under live conditions: monitoring, tuning, and intervening when it matters

• Strong analytical instincts: you can take a messy dataset of fills and quotes and turn it into a concrete execution improvement

• A deep, intuitive grasp of market microstructure and the ability to explain why a strategy works, not just that it does

• Proficiency in Python for analysis, tooling, and interaction with trading systems

• An ownership mindset: being proactive, accountable, and comfortable making decisions with immediate financial impact

• Clear written and verbal English, and the ability to communicate effectively with traders, researchers, and engineers

Nice to have

• Exposure to systematic HFT and MFT strategies, ideally in Crypto Delta1 markets

What's in it for you?

• A seat on a trading floor in the heart of Singapore’s CBD, where trading, research, and engineering are closely aligned with short feedback loops and direct impact on live PnL

• Competitive compensation consisting of a base salary combined with a very attractive bonus plan based on individual and company performance

• Outstanding performance is rewarded with the opportunity to buy into the trading fund

• Company laptop, home office budget, and transportation allowance

• An extensive in-house training program and an annual learning & development budget

• The opportunity to work at the forefront of automated trading using state-of-the-art technology, in an environment that embraces AI to both accelerate productivity and advance our systems and models

• Gym membership reimbursement, sports event reimbursement, and the opportunity to do sports during working hours

• Regular social events, including frequent outings and bi-annual trips abroad

• Daily breakfast and warm lunch. Additionally, snacks and drinks are provided throughout the day

• For internationals: All-in relocation package
