## About the role

Develop and run RFQ-based trading strategies for tokenized spot equities: set parameters such as buffers, spreads, and size limits, while optimizing for evolving business goals. Price instruments where reference prices are thin or stale, such as long-tail stocks and extended and overnight sessions.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years trading at a market maker, prop firm, DEX, or brokerage, with professional experience specifically trading spot equities
- Experience developing RFQ systems
- A rigorous approach to risk management: you track exposure, hedge thoughtfully, and escalate early when conditions shift
- Self-directed and adaptable: you're comfortable operating with autonomy in a remote-first environment
- Strong analytical and software engineering skills (e.g., Rust)
