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.

We are looking for an Algorithmic Trader with strong coding skills (Python), good trading instincts and a curiosity about HFT, liquidity provision and crypto trading. After a short training period with the global trading team, you’ll be working directly on P&L impacting projects relating to Wintermute USA’s trading strategies. You’ll need to analyze large amounts of trading and transaction data, generate insights, prioritize them and build solutions based on your findings. You will get a lot of independence and responsibility right away, while getting guidance of the crypto trading experts, and you'll learn at an unprecedented speed! No legacy systems, no corporate bureaucracy, no multiple levels of approvals. It is up to you to make an impact and there is no limit set by the company!

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 as well.

Have an owner mentality - you focus on the ultimate result - P&L for the company and strategically growing the business and Wintermute partnerships

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 pivotal player in the crypto markets that don’t stop 24/7 ).

Like working in a team collaborative environment.

Opportunity to work at the world's leading algorithmic trading firm in digital assets.

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

A vibrant working culture with team events, celebrations 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 yet with a startup vibe, collaborative and entrepreneurial.

A performance-based compensation with a significant earning upside alongside standard perks like private medical insurance

The Base Salary range for the role is included. 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 insurance.

Base Salary: $210,000 - $240,000
