A great opportunity to join a growing UK Blockchain firm working remotely as a Senior Market Maker on the Electronic Algo trading covering digital commodities.
We're building out an in-house electronic market making and algo trading function to reduce reliance on external market makers and bring core liquidity provision in-house. This is a hands-on, technical trading role covering commodities (including physical/metals exposure) across on-chain, CEX, and TradFi venues.
What You'll Do
- Design, deploy, and manage algorithmic strategies that place bid/ask quotes intelligently across on-chain and TradFi/CEX venues.
- Build and operate arbitrage strategies between on-chain markets and TradFi venues, ensuring execution is safe and risk-controlled.
- Bring market making functions currently run by external providers (e.g., gold, uranium) in-house.
- Monitor and manage order book dynamics in real time to optimize quoting and execution.
- Work closely with tech/engineering to maintain and improve trading infrastructure (this is a tech-heavy role).
- Partner with the Capital Markets team to help shape the broader market making strategy, which is still evolving.
