Our client, a highly-regarded, cutting-edge trading firm is seeking a Senior Quantitative Trader/Market Maker. The firm is known for its proprietary, low-latency trading systems, sophisticated algorithms, and efficient execution platform, which allows for optimized trading across multiple asset classes. With access to major global exchanges, the firm operates at scale, leveraging advanced technology to maintain a competitive edge in the financial markets.
You will be responsible for researching decentralized finance (DeFi) markets, protocols, and strategies, all while managing a sizable portfolio. You will also conduct thorough research on both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized (DeFi) markets, alongside blockchain data, to identify trading opportunities. A key aspect of the role involves designing, testing, and deploying algorithmic trading strategies into production.
To succeed in this role, candidates should possess a STEM degree from a top academic institution. Proven and profitable quantitative trading strategies across asset classes in real-world environments (not just in simulations) are essential.

Benefits:
The firm offers an attractive compensation package, including a competitive salary and semi-discretionary bonus, as well as stock options. The firm promotes a supportive, startup-like culture, with a fully stocked kitchen, unlimited sick days, paid time off...
