• Knowledge: Strong foundational understanding of OTC trading, market‑making mechanics, and the digital asset ecosystem
• Mindset: A “hunter” mentality with high resilience and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑stakes environment
• Communication: Ability to distill complex blockchain services into clear, actionable insights for institutional stakeholders

• Unlimited vacation policy; work hard and take time when you need it
• Performance‑based bonuses
