Job description

IMC has a strong presence in traditional finance and has been expanding its cryptocurrency trading activities over recent years. Through its global affiliates, IMC provides liquidity and trades across a broad range of cryptocurrency exchanges and DeFi protocols.
We are currently looking for a Crypto Trader to join us in Sydney office and provide APAC-hours coverage for our Crypto team in Zug. Working during normal Sydney business hours, you will take ownership of live trading activities while the Zug-based team is offline.
The role covers token market making, DeFi, and CeFi delta-one strategies. It is primarily focused on operating, monitoring, configuring, and managing the risk of automated trading strategies.

Your Core Responsibilities:

  • Monitor live trading strategies, positions, exposures, and PnL during APAC hours.
  • Manage strategy configurations, trading parameters, limits, and operational controls.
  • Investigate urgent trading issues, unexpected strategy behaviour, and unusual PnL movements.
  • Take appropriate action during volatile markets, exchange incidents, or infrastructure disruptions.
  • Use Python and internal tools to analyse trades, execution quality, and strategy performance.
  • Support the rollout and scaling of strategies across new tokens, venues, and protocols.
  • Provide clear handovers between the Sydney and Zug teams.
  • Communicate with external parties to resolve issues and handle requests.

Your Skills and Experience:

  • A quantitative or technical background in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Finance, or a related field.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Good judgement and attention to detail when working with live trading systems.
  • Ability to remain calm and make decisions during time-sensitive incidents.
  • Proficiency in Python for data analysis and trade investigations.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Good to Have:

  • Experience in electronic trading, market making, trading operations, or risk management.
  • Familiarity with cryptocurrency markets, including spot, perpetual futures, funding, and hedging.
  • Exposure to DeFi protocols or automated trading systems.
  • Familiarity with SQL, Linux, logs, and monitoring tools.

Prior experience developing low-latency trading strategies is not required. However, candidates should be comfortable understanding quantitative strategies, investigating their behaviour, and working closely with the traders, researchers, and developers responsible for them.
