Quantitative Researcher / Trader - Crypto HFT
I'm working with a new client who are an ambitious and fast-scaling proprietary trading firm that's already moving serious size in the crypto space. They're currently doing $10B+ in daily volume, and the goal is clear: become one of the top 5 crypto HFT firms globally.
They've got top-tier infra, a research-first culture, and a track record of execution. Now they're looking to bring on experienced Quant Researchers or Traders from a crypto HFT background who want to build and scale high-performing strategies in a setup built for speed and performance.
What you'll be doing:
- Designing, researching, and trading high-frequency strategies in the crypto markets
- Working closely with engineers and quants to squeeze out every bit of edge
- Running data-driven analysis and getting ideas into production quickly
- Taking full ownership of your strategies - from idea to live trading
- Playing a key role in shaping what's already a serious player in the market
What they're looking for:
- Strong experience in crypto HFT - ideally with live strategies or from a top player in the space
- Deep understanding of market microstructure, stats, and latency-sensitive trading
- Strong programming (Python, C , or similar) and data skills
- Someone who's self-driven, thrives in fast-moving environments, and loves the game
- Real interest in crypto markets and a hunger to compete at the highest level
Why this stands out:
- High autonomy - full ownership of your strategies and PnL
- Clear path to contribute at a top-tier level in crypto HFT
- Competitive comp: up to $250k base for the right candidate, plus strong bonus and PnL share
- Low politics, high performance environment - focused on results
- Will not have your hand-held. This is a hit the ground running environment.
If you're already in the crypto HFT space and want to take things to the next level with a firm that's got both scale and ambition lets jump on a call. Apply with an up to date CV and we can arrange a time for a call.
Thanks,
Ed
