What roles trading firms hire for
The stereotype is quant researchers and traders, and those roles exist — but the current mix across these firms is broader: Engineering 80 · Trading & Quant 41 · Operations 27 · Other 8 · BD & Sales 8. Engineering runs deep (low-latency systems, execution infrastructure, smart-contract and DeFi integrations), and the business side spans sales, operations, compliance and legal. 18 of the 171 firm roles are remote — lower than the board-wide remote share, because latency-sensitive desks tend to be in-office.

How trading-firm hiring differs
Three practical differences from the rest of crypto. Process: expect technical screens closer to finance than to startups — market-microstructure questions, probability puzzles, live coding for engineers, and for junior trading roles often a mental-math or games-based screen. Compensation: base bands understate these firms more than anywhere else on the board, because the variable component (performance bonus, PnL share) is the point; published bands here are a floor. Location: the desks cluster in a handful of hubs — Amsterdam, London, New York, Chicago, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei — so filter by USA, Europe or Asia if you are location-constrained.
