Quantitative Developer | Pricing | Python

BlockTech is hiring a Quantitative Developer to join its Pricing team in Amsterdam. In this role, you own the path from research model to production trading system. In crypto, the gap between a good model and live PnL comes down to how fast and reliably you can ship it, and our infrastructure directly moves that edge.

What you'll do

• Own the path to production: build and run the data pipelines, backtesting, deployment, and monitoring that take models from research to live trading.
• Harden prototypes by turning research code into performant, production-grade code that runs reliably in live trading.
• Ship with the desk by working closely with quantitative researchers and traders to get new models live quickly and safely.
• Monitor performance, diagnose issues, and keep latency and reliability high once systems are live.
• Improve the tools, standards, and pipelines the team relies on to lift engineering quality across the floor.

What you bring

• 2+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production-grade systems.
• A strong academic foundation in a STEM discipline such as computer science, mathematics, physics, or engineering.
• Strong programming skills in Python, ideally with Rust and/or C++.
• Solid engineering fundamentals: clean, testable, maintainable code, version control, testing, and CI/CD.
• The ability to work with researchers and traders and translate research code into production systems.
• Clear written and spoken English.

Nice to have

• Experience building or maintaining trading, backtesting, or data infrastructure.
• Familiarity with market microstructure.

What we offer

• Competitive base salary plus a performance bonus based on individual and company results.
• Trading fund opportunity: outstanding performance is rewarded with the chance to buy into the trading fund.
• On-site work at our Amsterdam office.
• Visa sponsorship for the Dutch highly skilled migrant visa.
• All-in relocation package and Dutch classes for international hires; eligible hires may qualify for the 30% tax ruling.
• Pension plan, company laptop, and home internet reimbursement.
• Extensive in-house training program and annual learning and development budget.
• 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, warm lunch, snacks, and drinks all day.
