This tight feedback loop ensures immediate insight into the impact of your work and encourages ownership. We emphasize code quality, shared libraries, reusability, and evolving architectural best practices — all within an agile environment.

• Write clean, maintainable Go code that leverages concurrency and performance optimizations, ensuring consistency across a multi-language codebase
• Collaborate with engineers, traders and quants to deliver features end-to-end, bridging work across different technology stacks
• Grow your Go expertise while expanding your knowledge of Java and Rust ecosystems and distributed system design
• As one of the first Go engineers in the company, facilitate setting the standard and sharing Go best practices with the wider engineering team

• BSc or MSc in Computing Science, Mathematics or other quantitative fields
• 2+ years working experience in professional software development using Go

• Ability to communicate with technical and business colleagues
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Strong sense of teamwork and ownership and willingness to learn new skills
• Interest in crypto trading and blockchain technology is a big plus

• Lots of autonomy, flexible work culture and the possibility of hybrid work
• A team size that’s large enough for learning and development, yet lean enough for your contributions to have a visible impact
• The chance to work for one of the top market makers in the crypto world
• Real career growth in a trading company that is active in many asset classes
• Competitive benefits and perks, including discretionary performance bonus
