The posting

BlockTech is hiring a Quantitative Trader to join its options trading team in Amsterdam. In this role, you'll take ownership of our trading systems and bring new direction to the desk.

We trade crypto derivatives and spot markets across global venues, 24/7. Our traders don't just watch the systems. They own them end-to-end.

ABOUT BLOCKTECH

BlockTech is an algorithmic trading firm headquartered in Amsterdam, with a second office in Singapore. We specialize in market making and trade cryptocurrency derivatives and spot markets globally, using our own capital. We're growing fast and expanding into new markets.

Our traders work side by side with quantitative researchers and engineers. Research, engineering, and trading happen a few meters apart, so the path from a market read to live PnL is short.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

You'll own the systems that trade our capital, from day-to-day operation to the strategies that come next. As a senior trader, you'll also use what you've learned elsewhere to shape where the desk goes.

You will:

- Own the systems. Monitor, operate, and tune our automated trading systems in live markets.

- Manage the risk. Manage positions and risk, adjusting pricing and parameters as market behaviour shifts.

- Set new directions. Bring new ideas to the desk, drawing on your previous experience.

- Build new strategies. Develop and deploy new strategies together with quantitative researchers and engineers.

- Spot what’s next. Identify and research new business opportunities as markets change.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You'll need:

- A strong academic background in a quantitative field such as mathematics, physics, statistics, or computer science.

- 3+ years of quantitative trading experience.

- Proficiency in Python, with excellent numerical and algorithmic skills.

- Focus and sound judgment behind the screen when markets get busy.

Bonus points for:

- Experience at a proprietary trading firm or hedge fund, particularly with mid-frequency strategies, prediction markets or DeFi.

You don't need: crypto experience. If you've successfully traded derivatives on other asset classes and want to bring that experience to BlockTech, we want to hear from you.

PAY, LOCATION, AND RELOCATION

- Compensation: a competitive base salary plus a very attractive performance bonus based on individual and company results.

- Trading fund: strong performers get the opportunity to buy into the trading fund.

- Location: On-site on our trading floor in Amsterdam

- Visa: BlockTech sponsors the Dutch highly skilled migrant visa.

- Relocation: All-in relocation package and Dutch classes for international hires. Eligible hires may qualify for the 30% ruling.

WHAT ELSE IS IN IT FOR YOU

- Pension plan, company laptop, and home internet reimbursement

- An extensive in-house training program and an annual learning and development budget

- An environment that embraces AI, both to speed up your work and to advance our systems

- Gym reimbursement and sports during working hours: kickboxing, CrossFit, fitness, and soccer

- Weekly Friday drinks, monthly outings, quarterly sports competitions, and two trips abroad a year

- Daily breakfast and warm lunch, plus snacks and drinks all day

HOW WE WORK

We're a team of trading and tech enthusiasts with a flat hierarchy. Have an idea today, and it can ship tomorrow. The best idea wins, whoever it comes from.

This role comes with a high degree of autonomy. You'll own hard problems from concept to production and solve them your way. We promote reverse leadership, give everyone an equal playing field, and invest in personal and professional development.

OUR CULTURE

At our core, we are a team of passionate trading and tech enthusiasts committed to revolutionizing trading through automation. Our collaborative approach ensures that everyone contributes to achieving our ambitious goals.

In this role, you will be both challenged and stretched, with ample opportunities for growth and development, both within and beyond your main responsibilities.

We invest in our people by offering competitive compensation and benefits, fostering innovation, and celebrating success. Our commitment to personal development transcends traditional norms; we provide an equal playing field, promote reverse leadership, and offer boundless growth opportunities for all our employees.

Join us to unlock your potential and drive innovation in the exciting world of algorithmic trading.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
