Software Engineer - High Frequency Trading (HFT) + Crypto ($100k-$300k)

Joining a 10 person stealth crypto HFT.

Founding team come from tier HFT/Market Maker and have built a successful business trading crypto over the last 3 years.

This role is very important as there is an enormous amount of low hanging fruit to be captured through engineering work.

This is a very hands-on leadership team (Quant Research, Engineering, etc.) so we're looking for someone who can jump in eagerly and doesn't need a lot of hand holding or detailed instructions to diagnose and solve problems.

For example, don't expect to be given an A-Z walkthrough of what exactly you need to look for and how to fix it. More likely you'll be given some rough understanding of a problem or opportunity to be fixed or created, and you'll go figure out how to make it work.

The team is open to hiring both engineers from HFT or engineers who have worked on latency sensitive, complex tech engineering problems like building databases, ad engines, etc.

A desire to work on trading systems and technology is important.

Tools wise the team uses C++, C#, Python, etc. and is open-minded about what languages you know, as long as you can pick up quickly.

Compensation is flexible depending on seniority and relevancy of skills.

We are open to PhDs with relevant academic experience and some tech/HFT skills.

Get in touch if this sounds like a potential fit!
