My client is one of the world's premier algorithmic trading firms - mathematicians, physicists, and engineers building some of the most sophisticated trading systems on the planet. They trade across nearly every electronic market globally, and their crypto operation is a serious, growing part of that.

This isn't a Web3 project or a DeFi moonshot. It's rigorous CeFi alpha research at high frequency: tick data, orderbook dynamics, futures strategy. The kind of work where your statistical instincts and your Python + C++ skills really matter.

What you'll be doing:

Researching and implementing high-frequency alpha in crypto markets, contributing to and improving live trading strategies, and working directly with a tight-knit team that values output over hierarchy. You'll own strategy development end-to-end; from research prototype to production.

Who they're looking for:

• Someone who is genuinely excited about crypto markets (the CeFi kind)
• Comfortable at tick-data level
• Strong C++ and Python.
• A degree in Maths, Physics, CS or similar is standard.
• Familiarity with orderbook mechanics and alpha research processes is expected, not a bonus.

• What makes this different:

  This firm has the infrastructure, appetite and personnel to support you to be the most successful you possibly can be. There is no ceiling here - you can really push the limits of where your strategies can go. The crypto team is small, focused, and serious about what they're building. They really want to compete in this field, and need excellent QRs to join them.

  
  

  If you're a quant researcher who's been doing the hard work in crypto markets, and you're looking for a place where that work will genuinely compound, this is worth a conversation.
