About Wintermute

A leading algorithmic trading firm, focused on harnessing the chaos of digital assets into liquid and efficient markets. Backed by Lightspeed.

About the role

We are looking for 2027 graduates with strong coding skills (Python) and a curiosity about HFT, liquidity provision and crypto trading. After a short training period with the traders, you’ll be tasked with improving existing strategies, adding new trading products and improving the technology behind our trading systems. You’ll need to analyze large amounts of trading and transaction data, generate insights, prioritize them and build solutions based on your findings.

What they're looking for

  • Strong Python skills - you have 1-3 years of experience coding in Python, be that through work, study or personal project experience - we will test!
  • Excellent quantitative and analytical skills - we will test!
  • Trading knowledge isn’t required but a strong willingness and curiosity to learn algorithmic, high-frequency, quantitative and liquidity provision trading is crucial. We will be testing you on your trading intuition
  • Have an owner mentality - you focus on ultimate result (short and long-term P&L for the company), focus on strategically growing the business for the future vs “cashing-in” fast
  • Love problem solving, and love seeing your products work, you do whatever it takes to do what’s needed (trading, coding, analysing data, collaborating)
  • Determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to work hard and learn on the way
