Founded in 2013, GSR is a leading market-making and programmatic trading company in the exciting and fast-evolving world of cryptocurrency trading. With more than 200 employees in 5 countries, we provide billions of dollars of liquidity to cryptocurrency protocols and exchanges on a daily basis. We build long-term relationships with cryptocurrency communities and traditional investors by offering exceptional service, expertise and trading capabilities tailored to their specific needs.

Responsibilities:

  • Monitor balance sheet and risk positions from a deep fundamental viewpoint, both from a portfolio and individual token position perspective
  • Produce fundamental research-driven portfolio construction advice to maximize risk-adjusted returns, including via macro/crypto views, subsector theses, token-specific ideas, and more
  • Disseminate macro, industry, and token-specific catalysts and risks impacting risk positions to traders to optimize positioning and execution
  • Partner with engineers to continuously improve trading and risk analytics infrastructure for optimized insights
  • Present positions and recommendations at weekly trading and risk management meetings

  • Competitive Salary with two discretionary bonus payments a year.
