Quantitative Cryptocurrency Trader

Quantitative Cryptocurrency Trader – Join a New Kind of Trading Firm

This is for the sharp, quantitative thinkers who trade in probabilities and see data as opportunity. A high-frequency trading firm in Central Europe is looking for traders to execute strategies in the fast-paced and ever-changing cryptocurrency market. With 120 team members, they currently manage ~1% of global crypto trading volume—without the oversight of traditional finance or venture capital. There’s a lot of freedom here.

The Offer:

• Competative base Salary with performance bonuses paid twice yearly. Successful traders often exceed €1M annually.
• 40 days off annually, catered meals, and transportation rounded out by a collaborative environment.

The Work:

You’ll trade across 14 cryptocurrency exchanges, analyzing price data, making split-second decisions, and employing custom-built algorithms. It’s fast, yes. Mistakes matter—but so do quick recoveries. The firm thrives on an ethos of radical transparency, where successes and even missteps are shared among the team to refine strategies. It's not about perfect decision-making but iterating and improving over time.

There’s no remote option here. Traders are based in HQ (or spend 50% of their time there). The market’s 24/7, and sometimes the pace will demand unconventional hours.

Who They’re Looking For:

Quants with a deep command of probability, statistics, or applied mathematics—likely holding a Ph.D., though that’s not the only path here. Strong Python or R programming skills are essential, as is comfort with high-stakes problem-solving.

What matters most, though, is mindset. Probabilistic thinkers who see risk not as something to avoid, but as a tool to manage, will thrive. And, you need to challenge ideas, not just accept them.

The Process:

Expect tests—and not just technical. Their interviews include coding, math problems, and even strategy-based games in HQ (expenses covered).

Whether you’re experienced in crypto or just fascinated, this could be the rare opportunity you’re looking for.
