We already operate a 24/7 on-call rotation, and this hire will help us build out more consistent coverage across timezones, with someone based in APAC who can take ownership when issues arise.\nThe workload is varied, with a primary focus on ensuring our vaults and trading strategies operate safely and effectively during APAC hours. You'll be responsible for monitoring live strategies, responding to incidents, and supporting new vault and strategy launches, particularly during periods of increased market activity.\nAlongside your operational responsibilities, you'll also work closely with our Product and Business Development teams, acting as a technical point of contact for partners across Asia. This includes explaining how our vaults and strategies work, understanding partner requirements, and helping explore opportunities for strategy expansion. With a growing proportion of our business coming from APAC, we're looking for someone who can comfortably have these conversations in both Mandarin and English.\nThis isn't a traditional engineering or quantitative research role. We're looking for someone with practical experience in live markets who understands how trading strategies operate, follows market developments closely, and knows how to respond when something goes wrong, and can partner and collaborate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders.\nAbout Gauntlet\nGauntlet builds the financial systems of the future. While much of onchain finance is focused on point solutions, we operate across the entire stack to offer best-in-class vault products. Today we serve over $1.5B in client TVL across some of the largest fintechs/neobanks, protocols, exchanges, and capital allocators in crypto - and, increasingly, traditional asset management. Our team brings together traditional finance and crypto-native expertise to deliver durable, sophisticated products for institutional clients moving onchain.\n\nWhat you'll do;\nTake ownership of trading operations and on-call coverage during APAC hours, working across our vault strategy and curation teams.\nMonitor live vaults and strategies, investigate alerts, and identify unexpected behavior or potential risks using internal dashboards and onchain data.\nRespond to operational incidents, following established playbooks where appropriate and escalating to the relevant teams when needed.\nWork with teams across different timezones to improve operational processes, incident response procedures, and handovers.\nStay close to crypto and broader financial markets, identifying developments that could impact our strategies and sharing relevant insights with the team.\nSupport Business Development in technical discussions with APAC partners, helping explain our products, understand requirements, and explore potential new strategies.\nHelp improve the tools, monitoring processes, and documentation that support our day-to-day operations.\nWhat we're looking for;\nExperience working directly with live financial markets, ideally in trading operations, execution, or a similar role at a hedge fund, proprietary trading firm, trading desk, or crypto trading business.\nA strong understanding of market dynamics and trading strategies, with the ability to recognise unusual market behaviour and understand the potential implications.\nSomeone who actively follows crypto and traditional financial markets and is comfortable making decisions as new information comes in.\nGood judgment under pressure, with the confidence to investigate issues independently, resolve what you can, and escalate when necessary.\nStrong technical aptitude and the ability to understand how trading strategies work without necessarily being a software engineer or quantitative researcher.\nExcellent communication skills, with experience working across teams and explaining technical concepts to different audiences.\nBusiness fluency in both Mandarin and English.\nNice to have\nExperience working with DeFi protocols, onchain trading, or digital asset strategies.\nExperience working directly with institutional clients or partners in a technical capacity, including solutions engineering, solutions architecture, technical consulting, or supporting the implementation of trading strategies.\nFamiliarity with Python, SQL, or other tools used for data analysis and monitoring.\nWhat success looks like;\nFirst 30 days\nYou'll have developed a good understanding of Gauntlet's vaults, strategies, and operational processes. You'll have started shadowing the existing on-call rotation, become familiar with our monitoring tools and playbooks, and joined initial partner conversations with the Product and BD teams.\nFirst 3-6 months\nYou'll be independently managing APAC-hours operations, handling incidents confidently, and knowing when to involve the wider team. You'll have helped improve runbooks and handovers between regions and will be comfortable leading technical discussions with partners.\nWithin 12 months\nYou'll have established yourself as the go-to person for trading operations in APAC, providing reliable coverage for our strategies and helping strengthen our global operating model. You'll also be a trusted technical resource for our regional partners and internal teams.\nPerks & Benefits;\nRemote first\nRegular in-person company retreats and cross-country \"office visit\" perk\n\n100% paid medical & Dental\n\n$1,000 WFH stipend\n\nMonthly reimbursement for home internet, phone, and cellular data\n\nUnlimited
