## About Us

At Auros, we’re dedicated to advancing the cryptocurrency ecosystem through unparalleled liquidity and market-making services. We’re one of the largest participants in the market, trading across 10+ global locations, facilitating 3-4% of global daily volumes, and have connectivity to over 50 venues.

What sets us apart, though, is our culture. We believe in hiring smart people and empowering them to do their best work. From day one you’ll have the autonomy and support to really excel. Our relentless focus on delivery drives us to continuously push boundaries and achieve exceptional results, all while offering abundant opportunities for personal and professional growth in the dynamic realm of digital assets.

The Opportunity

Auros is seeking a highly motivated and proactive Trader with 2+ years of trading experience to join our team. The ideal candidate will possess a strong hunger for trading, a keen eye for identifying profitable opportunities, and a relentless drive to maximise returns.

Responsibilities:

- Collaborate with quantitative researchers, developers and other traders to refine existing strategies and develop new trading models.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of our trading systems and processes.
- Investigate market trends and real-time data to analyse, inform, and adapt trading strategies.
- Manage risk effectively within the trading portfolio, demonstrating a strong understanding of risk and reward patterns.
- Proactively research new market opportunities and pricing inefficiencies, utilising data analysis and market microstructure insights.
- Optimise trading algorithms and infrastructure to enhance performance and efficiency.

## Who You Are

Our ideal candidate will have:

- 2+ years of proven algorithmic trading experience with a track record of profitability, ideally in D1 and/or options.
- A strong, demonstrable hunger for trading and an entrepreneurial mindset, constantly seeking new challenges and responsibilities.
- Excellent communication skills, capable of collaborating effectively within a team environment and articulating complex ideas.
- Exceptional analytical and quantitative reasoning skills, with a superior ability to identify and interpret patterns in large datasets.
- Ability to make quick and decisive decisions in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, acting and performing successfully under minimal supervision.
- A proactive attitude in identifying and pursuing new trading opportunities, with a desire to push research in new and unknown directions.
- Strong programming skills (Python, SQL or similar) are highly valued for data analysis, strategy development, and scripting.
- A competitive yet cooperative attitude, dedicated to continuous improvement within a team setting.
- Passionate about Trading, Blockchain & Cryptocurrency

## What We Offer in Return

- Opportunity to work at the forefront of the digital asset industry.
- Autonomy and a flat structure means you can contribute your ideas from day one and help shape the foundation that will power our future business.
- Grow your personal connections within the growing crypto ecosystem.
- Become an essential part of a growing and successful team, directly impacting firm profitability and receiving rewards for outstanding performance.
- Thrive in our dynamic Hong Kong office, a vibrant hub of financial innovation and global connectivity.

At Auros, we value nimbleness, drive for success, owner mentality, and collaboration. We provide a supportive, high achieving environment where we surround you with curious, creative and ambitious problem solvers. Join us in shaping the future of financial services across Asia and beyond!

- **Key Metric**: $18.21B total trading volume YTD (as of mid-2026 from auros.global) or $1.3T+ cumulative (from homepage). Annual revenue listed on LinkedIn as $545K (likely outdated or incomplete – treat with caution).

## Competitive Advantages

- **Complex, impactful work**: Problems sit at the intersection of trading, engineering, and token design, with real influence over digital market infrastructure.
- **Learning and growth**: Structured onboarding, regular feedback, opportunities to rotate across projects. Prior crypto experience not required for all roles – curiosity and problem-solving are valued more.
