We are supported by an outstanding team of professionals, with a robust global presence in EMEA, Americas, and APAC.

Role Overview

We are hiring a mid-level Portfolio Manager / Trader to own and operate market-neutral crypto strategies - primarily funding arbitrage, basis trades, calendar spreads, and cross-venue relative value - across centralized and decentralized venues. You will be responsible for day-to-day portfolio construction, execution, and drawdown control, working under a defined risk framework and supporting institutional SMA and fund mandates. This is a hands-on PM and trading role with clear ownership and room to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Run and manage market-neutral funding and basis books across CEX and DEX venues, primarily in majors and liquid alts.
• Own position sizing, hedging, leverage, and exposure management, maintaining strict market neutrality and drawdown discipline.
• Actively monitor funding regimes, futures curves, borrow costs, liquidity, and cross-venue dislocations; scale, rotate, or shut down risk as conditions change.
• Partner closely with risk, operations, and engineering to improve OMS/EMS workflows, automation, alerts, and real-time risk monitoring.
• Maintain an institutional-grade process: pre-trade controls, post-trade analysis, reconciliations, documentation, and audit readiness.
• Contribute to the evolution of G20’s market-neutral platform, including strategy refinement and new opportunity assessment.

Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in Quantitative Finance, Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline; top-tier university preferred.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in crypto derivatives, market-neutral, or relative-value trading.
• Demonstrated experience running funding-rate and/or basis strategies with real capital and disciplined risk management.
• Strong understanding of perpetual mechanics, futures term structure, liquidation dynamics, and margin optimization.
• Comfortable working with execution systems and data; able to collaborate effectively with quants and engineers.
• Experience with institutional custody and collateral frameworks (e.g., Fireblocks, Copper, Anchorage, or equivalent).
• Calm under volatility, process-driven, and comfortable operating within defined risk limits.
• Clear communicator with the ability to explain strategy, risk, and performance to internal stakeholders.

Preferred / Desirable Experience

• Experience in stat arb, volatility arbitrage, trend-following overlays, or multi-strategy market-neutral pods.
• Prior exposure to regulated, audited, or institutional client environments.
• Familiarity with both CeFi and DeFi market structure.

This role will be based in New York, Zurich, or London. Only candidates who possess the pre-existing right to work in the US, Switzerland, or the UK without needing company sponsorship need apply. Trading access and setup will align with regulatory, exchange, and operational constraints.
