Quantitative Developer

Quantitative Developer – Options Trading (Cryptocurrency)

My client is building one of the most exciting next-generation trading platforms in digital assets, combining cutting-edge exchange technology, quantitative research and institutional-grade trading infrastructure into a single ecosystem. Backed by leading investors and driven by a small, highly technical engineering team, they're tackling some of the hardest problems in modern electronic markets.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business where quantitative developers sit at the heart of the platform. You'll work on real-time pricing, market data, risk and trading infrastructure, helping build systems that power sophisticated options markets operating at global scale. Engineers are given significant ownership from day one, working directly with technical leadership in a fast-moving, low-bureaucracy environment where technical excellence is genuinely valued.

What you'll be doing

• Design and build low-latency market data infrastructure supporting real-time pricing, trading and risk management.
• Develop and optimise options pricing engines and quantitative models for production trading systems.
• Build high-performance backend services for pricing, quoting, market data processing and real-time risk monitoring.
• Work closely with quantitative researchers and traders to implement, validate and productionise new trading models and strategies.
• Improve the research-to-production pipeline through robust testing, monitoring and deployment practices.
• Help evolve the architecture of a high-performance trading platform operating across hundreds of markets.

What they are looking for

• Strong commercial Python development experience (essential).
• Experience building production trading systems within an exchange, proprietary trading firm, market maker, hedge fund or crypto-native trading environment.
• Strong understanding of options pricing, volatility modelling or derivatives analytics.
• Experience developing or implementing quantitative models into production systems.
• Knowledge of market data infrastructure, distributed systems and low-latency backend engineering.
• Go experience would be a significant advantage.
• Candidates who have both quantitative development and strategy development experience will be particularly attractive.
• Comfortable taking ownership of complex technical challenges and working in a highly collaborative engineering environment.

Why join

• Build greenfield quantitative trading infrastructure that directly powers a rapidly growing institutional trading platform.
• Work on technically challenging problems spanning options pricing, quantitative modelling, market data and distributed systems.
• Join a small, elite engineering team where you'll work directly with experienced technical leaders and have genuine influence over architecture and product direction.
• Enjoy a high-autonomy environment with minimal bureaucracy and a strong engineering-first culture.
• Opportunity to make a visible impact while working alongside exceptional engineers and quantitative specialists on cutting-edge trading technology.
