As a Trader on the Trading Desk, you will play a key role in managing and optimizing trading flows across crypto, stocks/ETFs, metals, FX, and leveraged derivative products. Operating at the intersection of markets, data, and technology, you will monitor order flow, pricing, hedging, and execution quality in real time. Your focus will be on continuously refining pricing, hedging, and execution parameters using sound market judgment and data-driven analysis to improve performance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Taking shared ownership of trading performance across all asset classes, ensuring strong execution quality and resilient trading systems
- Monitoring markets, order books, order flow, and exposures in real time, proactively identifying and mitigating risks
- Optimizing pricing, hedging, routing, execution, and internalization using market insight, data, and performance analytics
- Dynamically adjusting trading parameters within defined risk limits and analyzing spreads, slippage, hedge performance, and execution outcomes
- Collaborating with quantitative researchers, engineers, product teams, operations, and external partners to improve algorithms, tooling, controls, and trading-system performance
You should have at least two years of relevant experience in trading, market making, liquidity provision, electronic markets, or comparable roles. A strong understanding of market microstructure, order-book dynamics, pricing, hedging, execution quality, and risk management is essential. You must be analytical and quantitative, capable of making fast, well-reasoned, data-driven decisions under pressure. The role requires flexibility to work rotating 8-hour shifts between 07:30 and 23:00.
Bitpanda offers a hybrid working model with flexibility to work remotely, plus 25 additional days per year to work from a city or country of your choice.
