Imagine building systems that think in microseconds — algorithms that move millions with absolute precision.
We’re engineers driven by performance, reliability, and meaningful innovation in the crypto trading space. Our team — experienced builders from Amazon, and Google, with academic backgrounds from Berkeley, Caltech, ETH, and MIT — is developing a next-generation trading platform that executes orders seamlessly across 10+ exchanges and dozens of tokens.
Here, every line of code matters. Push your work to production, and within minutes it could be driving thousands of trades per hour. It’s fast, impactful, and never dull — the kind of engineering challenge that keeps you sharp and inspired.
About the Algo teamWe are a bunch of competitive individuals with strong mathematics foundations and development skills. We are responsible for developing new algorithms that power our trading strategies, mainly focused on market making. We calculate fair prices—what an asset should sell for in the current market—based on incoming data. This is critical for deciding our trading positions, prices, and sizes across various markets.
