Algo Trader - Crypto Market Making

Algo / Quant Trader – Crypto Market Making

Location: Dubai / Singapore (Remote first 3-6 months and relocation)

Type: Full-time

You’ll run systematic and semi-systematic strategies across major crypto venues. The focus is simple: build profitable market‑making and liquidity‑provision strategies, manage risk in real time, and push execution quality as far as physics and exchange APIs allow. This is not a button‑pushing role. You’ll be designing algos, improving signals, tuning parameters, interpreting market microstructure, and owning PnL end‑to‑end. You’ll work alongside quants and C++/Python engineers who can turn your ideas into production code at scale.

• Develop, test, and improve market‑making, arbitrage, and liquidity‑provision strategies.
• Analyse market microstructure across CEXs and DEXs to identify edge and refine execution.
• Monitor real‑time trading performance, adjust parameters, and react to market dislocations.
• Work with engineers to deploy low‑latency execution logic and exchange connectors.
• Build simulation frameworks and backtests to validate ideas and stress scenarios.
• Manage inventory, risk exposures, and capital allocation across multiple venues and instruments.
• Review post‑trade analytics to strengthen signal quality and execution behaviour.

• Strong quantitative background (Math, Physics, CS, Engineering, Stat).
• Deep understanding of market microstructure, order book dynamics, latency, and liquidity behaviour.
• Experience trading crypto, FX, equities, futures, or any electronic product systematically.
• Solid Python or C++ skills for modelling, prototyping, and analysing data.
• Ability to interpret noisy data, extract signals, and build robust models.
• Comfort operating in 24/7 markets with shifting volatility regimes.
• Track record of generating PnL or contributing to a profitable trading stack.

• Hands‑on experience trading on Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, etc.
• Understanding of derivatives (perps, options) and basis/funding dynamics.
• Built backtesters, simulators, or research pipelines.
• Knowledge of DeFi, DEX microstructure, or cross‑venue liquidity fragmentation.
• Experience with low‑latency execution or high‑frequency strategies.

• Direct ownership of strategies and PnL.
• Work with a lean, high‑calibre team obsessed with speed and edge.
• Access to deep datasets, low‑latency infra, and multi‑venue connectivity.
• Competitive comp + performance upside aligned with your trading book.
