About the position

We are seeking a Trader to join our Trading Operations team. In this role, you will be directly responsible for helping us scale our strategies to new markets. You will also help us build tools to progressively automate the management of our trading and respond to changing market dynamics.

• Build tools to improve our logging and accounting processes.
• Understand and oversee operational components of trading strategies and processes, and plan further automation to existing ones.
• Execute operational components of trading that require human intervention.
• Manage monitoring of exposures and hedges, as well as calculation / reconciliation of PnL.

What we look for

We’re not focused on specific technical experience—whether in Python, finance, or other domains. Instead, we value smart, driven people with a passion for solving complex problems.

• Basic python proficiency.
