Wincent is hiring a Quantitative Trader for their Hong Kong office, applying high-frequency trading (HFT) principles to the crypto market. The role involves generating research ideas, building and testing trading strategies, and monitoring them in production. The company emphasizes a culture of radical transparency, trust, and integrity. This position requires previous experience in systematic trading, strong probability and statistics knowledge, and some Python coding skills. Successful candidates will have high agency and a willingness to relocate to Hong Kong with regular travel to Bratislava. Compensation includes cash, equity, bonuses, and the opportunity to invest in their fund.
We do HFT on crypto. We make ~1% of global crypto trading volume. Our team is 150 people—mostly engineers, traders, and quants. We are a bit weird:
We spend half of our waking hours working. That’s a lot. We don't see why we should treat work as a chore. We want it to be worth it.
No amount of money is worth your soul. We choose to be the good guys in the market. Handshakes are sacred for us.
Life is too short for games of politics, or fluff in general.
We embrace radical transparency inside—whether it’s compensation, bonuses, or trading strategies.
We are looking for someone who can enrich our knowledge and bring bits and pieces of HFT experience that we might be missing today.
You’ll work in small teams within an open, transparent environment (no pods). We expect you to be generating research ideas, but we also have a backlog of our own. These can be either improvements to our existing strategies, or completely new ones. Depending on your level of experience, you may be the primary driver of the research direction.
Responsibility for a strategy means responsibility for: modelling, testing, but also monitoring trading in production.
Lastly, we also expect you to collaborate with others and share findings and knowledge.
Our interview process is pretty simple:
Our compensation package consists of four parts: cash, equity, bonuses, and the ability to invest into our fund.
We want you to have skin in the game and big upside if we succeed as a company. We typically give 5-year equity grants to senior people.
We pay bonuses twice a year. These are discretionary and based on factors such as direct P&L you generated for the company, but also on your positive influence on the wider team. All bonuses are fully transparent within the company.
Since its 2017 inception, our fund has achieved a net annualized return of over 50%. You can choose how much money you'd like to invest.
At Wincent, we foster a culture of transparency, ownership, and autonomy, where every team member is empowered to make a meaningful impact. We prioritize clear objectives and give you the freedom to innovate and grow within a supportive, high-performing environment.
We value exceptional TOP 1% talent over a perfect match to a job description. If our vision and values resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you. Don’t hesitate to reach out—let’s explore how you can be part of shaping the future of cryptocurrency trading with us!
