About Wintermute
Wintermute is one of the largest crypto-native algorithmic trading companies in digital assets. We provide liquidity algorithmically across most cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, a broad range of OTC trading solutions as well as support high profile blockchain projects and traditional financial institutions moving into crypto. We actively participate in the development of the blockchain ecosystem through investments, partnerships, and incubation of projects.
Wintermute was founded in 2017 by industry leaders and has successfully navigated multiple crypto industry cycles. Culturally, we combine the best of two worlds: the technology standards of a traditional high-frequency trading firm and the innovative and entrepreneurial culture of a technology startup.

Working at Wintermute  
We are looking for an Algorithmic Trader with strong coding skills (Python) and a curiosity about hft, liquidity provision and crypto trading. At Wintermute, you will be responsible for your own "desk" right from the start. You will have the opportunity to develop your own product (trading algorithms, trading strategies), while also getting advice and guidance from very experienced traders and developers, including the founders/management team. You will get a lot of independence and responsibility right away, and you'll learn at an unprecedented speed No legacy systems, no corporate bureaucracy, no multiple levels of approvals. It is up to you to make an impact.
What will you work on
After a short training period, you'll be tasked with improving existing strategies, adding new trading products and improving the technology behind our trading systems. You'll need to analyze large amounts of trading and transaction data, generate insights, prioritize them and build solutions based on your findings. You can expect to be able to make an immediate impact on P&L and will be encouraged to explore new ideas and strategies. We will share more technical details in the interviews.
Note: we are looking for people with strong quantitative and coding skills, but this is a business/trading (not a research) role first and foremost.  Hard Skills Requirements

  • Strong Python skills - you have 1-3 years of experience coding in Python, be that through work, study or personal project experience - we will test
  • Excellent quantitative and analytical skills - we will test
  • Trading knowledge isn't required but a strong willingness and curiosity to learn algorithmic, high-frequency, quantitative and liquidity provision trading is crucial
  • Strong interest and curiosity in blockchain, crypto and DeFi - you like keeping track of major news and developments the crypto world
Other Requirements
  • Have an owner mentality - you focus on ultimate result (short and long-term P&L for the company), focus on strategically growing the business for the future vs "cashing-in" fast
  • Love problem solving, and love seeing your products work; you do whatever it takes to do what's needed (trading, coding, analysing data, collaborating)
  • Determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to work hard and learn on the way
  • Like meritocracy and being judged by what you deliver
  • Have an entrepreneurial mindset versus working  9-to-5 mentality; prepared to work non-standard working hours (since we are a high-growth startup operating in 24/7 crypto world)
