- Collaborate with the team and share findings and knowledge.
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of quantitative experience in High-Frequency Trading.
- A deep understanding of probability & statistics, data modelling skills, and scientific thinking.
- Some coding skills, for example in Python.
- High agency. You care about results and improving things around you, and you own projects end-to-end.
- Willingness to relocate to Bratislava.
Nice to Have
- Experience in crypto markets.
- Ability to write production-grade code.
- Leadership experience.
Technical Stack
- Python
Team & Environment
You will join a company of 150 people, mostly engineers, traders, and quants. We work in small teams.
Benefits & Compensation
- Ability to invest in our fund.
Work Mode
This is an onsite role based in Bratislava.
At Wincent, integrity isn’t for sale—we choose to be the good guys. We say things as they are, trust people, and embrace radical transparency internally. We are self-taught, our founders do not come from any of the big HFTs, and there are no VCs on the cap-table; we reserve that spot for our employees instead. We strongly care about our culture of transparency, ownership, and autonomy.
