You'll likely work across multiple codebases and languages, exploring the frontiers of the ecosystem's design space.

We are a tight-knit, collaborative team that values open dialogue and creative exploration. You'll work closely with experienced traders and developers, receiving mentorship while being encouraged to form your own perspectives, challenge ideas, and pursue new areas of inquiry together.

Requirements:

  • Proficiency in programming with at least one of Rust or Python
  • Comfortable working on Linux environments and Git version control
  • Experience with programmatic statistical analysis and quantitative / analytic skills
  • High level understanding of high-frequency market making strategies
  • Understanding of blockchain fundamentals and mechanics of the EVM
  • Familiarity with smart contract development and the Foundry toolkit
  • A passion for learning about protocol microstructure and design mechanisms
