## About the role

Execute and manage trades across centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) venues — order books, AMM pools, and concentrated liquidity positions. Monitor positions, inventory, and P&L in real time. Identify risks early and act on them.

## What they're looking for

- 0–3 years of experience — recent graduates with strong technical credentials, or candidates from quant research, engineering, data, or markets-adjacent roles looking to move onto a trading desk
- Strong quantitative foundation: probability, statistics, and the instinct to reach for data before opinions
- Python preferred, ideally applied to financial modeling or data analysis (pandas, notebooks, working with messy datasets). Adjacent tooling — R, MATLAB, SQL, serious Excel modeling — counts
- Real interest in crypto and DeFi. Professional crypto experience isn't required, demonstrated engagement with the space is
- Sound judgment under pressure. Markets move at 3am and things break. We need someone who stays composed, thinks clearly, and escalates early
- Precise communicator
