As a Quantitative Trader on BlockTech's Singapore trading floor, you own positions and PnL end-to-end, from interpreting live market flow and liquidity through tuning and intervening in automated systems, all the way to shaping the next generation of execution logic and trading tools. You sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Quantitative Researchers, Quantitative Developers, and Software Engineers, and your decisions directly drive how the team trades across venues.
What you'll do
- Manage and monitor Delta One positions across multiple venues, owning the PnL and risk that comes with them
- Read live market flow, liquidity conditions, and market events, and translate that read into concrete trading and execution decisions
- Tune and parameterise automated and semi-automated systems, and know when to step in to manage risk or capture an opportunity
- Improve execution quality and market-making performance through data-driven analysis of strategy behaviour
- Design and specify the trading tools, dashboards, and analytics that the desk relies on to make decisions
- Collaborate closely with researchers, developers, and engineers to sharpen models, infrastructure, and execution logic, and shape the roadmap for new trading initiatives
What you bring
- 3+ years of experience as a Quantitative Trader and/or Quantitative Researcher in a professional trading environment, with demonstrated PnL responsibility on linear (Delta One) products across multiple venues
- Hands-on experience operating automated and semi-automated trading systems under live conditions, including monitoring, tuning, and intervening when it matters
- Strong analytical instincts: you can take a messy dataset of fills and quotes and turn it into a concrete execution improvement
- A deep, intuitive grasp of market microstructure and the ability to explain why a strategy works, not just that it does
- Proficiency in Python for analysis, tooling, and interaction with trading systems
- An ownership mindset: being proactive, accountable, and comfortable making decisions with immediate financial impact
- Clear written and verbal English, and the ability to communicate effectively with traders, researchers, and engineers
Nice to have
- Exposure to systematic HFT and MFT strategies, ideally in Crypto Delta One markets
What we offer
- A seat on a trading floor in Singapore's CBD, where trading, research, and engineering are closely aligned with short feedback loops and direct impact on live PnL
