Most crypto MM seats put you somewhere in the middle of an existing book. This one starts at zero — and asks you to build it.
A lean AI-driven trading firm — algorithmic trading, deep data and ML focus, Israel-based with a global outlook — is hiring a senior quant to take full ownership of building a crypto market-making strategy from the ground up.
Not a research-only seat. Not a slot inside someone else’s framework. The full mandate: design the strategy, build the models, deploy live, own the PnL.
Why this seat is rare
Build from scratch. Strategy design, signal stack, risk framework, execution logic — all yours to define. No legacy to inherit, no committee to convince.
Full ownership. Your work goes live under your name. You see the PnL move because of decisions you made.
Crypto, on your terms. Markets still inefficient enough to reward sharp work, with a firm that’s already built the data and ML muscle around it.
Lean team, real authority. Small firm, no layers, fast iteration. The path from idea to live is short.
Remote-friendly. Experience matters more than postcode. Strong candidates can work from anywhere; Israel-based welcome.
Who they’re looking for
A senior quant with direct, hands-on market-making experience in crypto — strategies you’ve actually built and run, not theory or adjacent exposure. Deep on microstructure, inventory management, quoting logic, and the execution-side details that decide whether a book makes money.
Strong in Python and/or C++. Comfortable owning a strategy end-to-end. Track record at a serious crypto MM, HFT firm, or quant prop shop that’s traded the asset class for real.
If you’ve built crypto MM strategies before and want to do it again, from zero, with full ownership — get in touch.
Highly competitive package with meaningful upside tied to performance.
