We're a lean, high-conviction team where every hire genuinely shapes the product. The trading experience is our core competitive surface — it's what traders evaluate us on, stay for, and tell their networks about. This role owns it. You'll work alongside traders, engineers, and operators who move fast, think rigorously, and hold each other to a high bar.
