    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.
