You can read more here. Working at Wintermute Wintermute is a global company with offices in London and Singapore. It opened its US office in early 2025 and it is set to grow significantly over the next several years. It’s a unique opportunity to play a role in the early rapid expansion of Wintermute Americas.

## What you will work on

After a short training period with the traders, 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. The point is: there is no limit set by the company! Note: we are looking for people with strong quantitative and coding skills, but this is a business/trading (not a Quant/ 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. We will be testing you on your trading intuition.

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).

- Like working in the team environment.

Here is why you should join our dynamic team:

- Opportunity to work at one of the world's leading algorithmic trading firms in digital assets.

- Engaging projects offering accelerated responsibilities and ownership compared to traditional finance environments.

- A vibrant working culture with team meals, festive celebrations, gaming events and company wide team building events.

- A cool office in the heart of New York City which often hosts some of the leading industry events.

- Great company culture: informal, non-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional with a startup vibe, collaborative and entrepreneurial.

- A performance-based compensation with a significant earning upside.

- The base salary for this role is $210,000. Base salary is only one component of total compensation; all full-time, permanent positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and benefits, including paid leave and medical insurance.
