Job Description

We're partnering with a leading crypto market-making and HFT firm to hire a Senior Quantitative Researcher with 5+ years of experience in building and deploying high-frequency trading strategies across centralized or decentralized exchanges (futures, spot, perpetuals). This role is ideal for someone who thrives in low-latency environments and wants to work at the intersection of alpha research, execution, and performance optimization.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, test, and implement high-frequency trading strategies across centralized crypto markets

  • Conduct alpha research leveraging order book dynamics, market microstructure, and statistical modeling

  • Work closely with engineers to optimize infrastructure for ultra-low latency execution

  • Analyze live trading data and iterate on models to improve PnL, Sharpe, and risk-adjusted returns

  • Collaborate with the broader quant and trading team to identify new market opportunities and inefficiencies

  • Own end-to-end strategy development and deployment lifecycle

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in HFT, proprietary trading, or systematic crypto firms

  • Proven track record of live strategy deployment and alpha generation

  • Strong proficiency in C++ with exposure to performance optimization in latency-sensitive environments

  • Deep understanding of market microstructure, especially in crypto spot and derivatives

  • Familiarity with exchange APIs (e.g., Binance, OKX, Bybit, Deribit)

  • Strong statistical and data analysis skills; Python or similar for research is a plus

  • Self-driven, comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment
