The Crown Is Yours
As a Senior Lead Trading Strategist, you'll define and evolve the systems that power real-time market-making and automated trading at scale. You'll operate at the intersection of quantitative research and production engineering, translating complex market behavior into high-performance trading strategies. Working across teams, you'll lead the design and development of low-latency systems that price markets, manage risk, and react to high-frequency events. Your work will shape how markets behave, driving innovation and unlocking new opportunities through data-driven strategy and technical leadership.
What you'll do as a Senior Lead Trading Strategist
  • Lead the design, implementation, and continuous refinement of market-making and trading strategies informed by market microstructure, participant behavior, and risk constraints.
  • Translate quantitative research and hypotheses into scalable, production-grade trading systems in close partnership with Engineers, Data Scientists, and fellow Strategists.
  • Architect and evolve backtesting frameworks that accurately model execution, liquidity dynamics, and behavioral responses.
  • Develop and oversee real-time decision engines that price markets, optimize inventory, and react to high-frequency event streams.
  • Set technical direction for trading systems, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability in production environments.
  • Contribute on monitoring, alerting, and observability standards for live systems, enabling rapid diagnosis and resolution of anomalies.
  • Communicate strategy vision, system behavior, and business impact clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, influencing decision-making across teams.
What you'll bring
  • At least 7 years of experience in machine learning, quantitative modeling, or algorithmic strategy development.
  • Experience working with automated trading systems, prediction markets, sports betting, or crypto and decentralized finance environments.
  • Strong proficiency in Python (including NumPy, Pandas, and PyTorch) and experience with C++, C#, Java, or Rust for performance-critical systems.
  • Deep expertise in market making, market microstructure, liquidity modeling, and risk-aware optimization.
  • Strong foundation in statistical and probabilistic modeling, including time-series analysis and signal evaluation.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to lead complex technical initiatives and influence cross-functional teams.
