Working at Wintermute
We are looking for an Algorithmic Trader Intern with strong coding skills (Python) and a curiosity about HFT, market making and crypto trading. You will have the opportunity to work closely with very experienced traders and developers, including the founders/management team whilst working on some really exciting projects. You will get a lot of independence and responsibility right away, and you'll learn at an unprecedented speed! No legacy systems, no corporate bureaucracy, no multiple levels of approvals. It is up to you to make an impact. You will act like an owner and your incentives will be completely aligned with those of the company!
What will you work on
The opportunity could involve:, improving existing strategies and adding new trading products, as well as improving the technology behind the trading. You’ll need to analyse large amounts of trading and transaction data, generate insights, prioritise them and build solutions based on your findings. We will share more technical details in the interviews. The point is: there is no limit set by the company!
Note: we are looking for people with strong quantitative and coding skills, but this is a business/trading (not a Quant/ research) role first and foremost.
