Working at Wintermute

We are looking for an Algorithmic Trader with strong quantitative and Python skills, good trading instincts and a curiosity about algorithmic trading, high-frequency trading, liquidity provision and digital assets. You will take ownership of P&L-impacting trading projects from an early stage, working closely with experienced traders and developers across our global trading team. After an initial training period, you will be given significant independence and responsibility. You will analyse large amounts of trading and transaction data, identify opportunities, build and improve trading strategies and develop solutions based on your findings. There are no legacy systems, multiple layers of approvals or rigid boundaries between trading, analysis and development. You will be encouraged to identify opportunities, build solutions and make an immediate impact. This is primarily a trading and business role rather than a pure research role. We are looking for people who enjoy combining quantitative analysis, coding and commercial decision-making to drive P&L.

What will you work on:

  • Improving and optimising existing trading strategies.
  • Researching and developing new trading strategies and products.
  • Analysing large volumes of market, trading and transaction data to identify opportunities.
  • Building tools and solutions to improve trading performance and decision-making.
  • Improving the technology and infrastructure supporting our trading systems.
  • Monitoring trading performance and reacting quickly to changing market conditions.
  • Exploring new markets, products and trading opportunities.
  • Taking ownership of projects that have a direct impact on P&L.
  • You will work closely with experienced traders, quantitative developers and the wider management team while gradually taking increasing ownership of your own strategies and areas of the business.

Hard Skills Requirements:

  • Strong Python skills – typically 1–3 years of coding experience through professional work, internships, academic work or personal projects. We will test this during the interview process.
  • Excellent quantitative and analytical skills – we will test these.
  • Typically 1–3 years of relevant experience, although we also welcome exceptional recent graduates with relevant internships, particularly from HFT, quantitative trading or similar environments.
  • Trading experience is not essential, but you should have strong trading intuition and a genuine interest in learning about algorithmic trading, high-frequency trading, quantitative trading and liquidity provision.
  • Strong ability to analyse complex datasets, identify patterns and turn insights into practical solutions.
  • An interest in financial markets and technology. Experience or interest in crypto, blockchain and DeFi is beneficial but not required.

Other Requirements:

  • You have an owner mentality and focus on the ultimate outcome: generating sustainable P&L and helping grow the business over the long term.
  • You love solving problems and seeing the solutions you build work in practice.
  • You are comfortable moving between trading, coding, data analysis and collaboration depending on what is required.
  • You are determined, ambitious and humble, with a strong willingness to learn.
  • You enjoy working in a meritocratic environment where performance and impact matter.
  • You have an entrepreneurial mindset rather than a 9-to-5 mentality and are comfortable with the demands of fast-moving global markets.
  • You enjoy working collaboratively with traders, developers and other teams.
  • You are comfortable working primarily from the office while maintaining flexibility where appropriate.

Here is why you should join our dynamic team:

  • Opportunity to work at the world's leading algorithmic trading firm covering both digital assets and traditional finance.
  • 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.
  • For US applicants: 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.
  • For US, the base salary range for this role is $210,000 - $240,000. 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 medical insurance.

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.
