About the Firm

We are a global, technology-driven trading firm focused on digital asset markets. The business operates across major electronic trading venues, providing liquidity and execution solutions to a broad range of institutional counterparties.

Alongside its core trading activities, the firm works with emerging digital asset projects and supports financial institutions expanding into the space. It also selectively invests in early-stage opportunities within the broader digital asset ecosystem.

The firm combines the technical sophistication of established quantitative trading environments with the agility of a fast-scaling technology business. With a long-term perspective on digital assets, it is focused on building robust, scalable, and efficient trading infrastructure.

The Role

We are looking for a Quantitative Researcher with experience developing mid-frequency (MFT) or short-term systematic strategies across traditional financial markets (e.g. equities, futures, FX) or digital asset markets.

You will utilise a sophisticated research and execution platform to develop, test, and deploy trading strategies in digital asset markets. Working closely with trading and engineering teams, you will refine models, improve execution, and explore new sources of alpha across a diverse set of instruments.

Responsibilities

  1. Develop and implement mid-frequency trading strategies (from seconds to multi-day holding periods)
  2. Design predictive models to capture inefficiencies in digital asset markets
  3. Analyse high-frequency and tick-level data to identify alpha signals and microstructure patterns
  4. Conduct robust backtesting, simulation, and optimisation of strategies
  5. Partner with engineering teams to improve execution and system performance
  6. Iterate on and scale strategies across multiple trading venues

Requirements

  1. Experience developing systematic trading strategies with demonstrable performance
  2. Strong academic background in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  3. Proficiency in Python (C++ or other low-level languages is a plus)
  4. Solid understanding of statistical modelling, time series analysis, and market microstructure
  5. Interest in applying quantitative strategies to digital asset markets
  6. Strong collaborative and problem-solving mindset

Preferred Experience

  1. Exposure to digital asset markets or related trading strategies
  2. Experience in market making or liquidity provision
  3. Familiarity with exchange connectivity, APIs, and electronic trading systems
  4. Experience working with alternative or non-traditional datasets

Why Join

  1. Opportunity to work in a high-growth area within global markets
  2. Direct impact on trading performance and strategy development
  3. Collaborative and meritocratic team environment
  4. Fast-paced, technology-driven culture with significant ownership
  5. Competitive compensation aligned with performance
