Being a bit weird, we\nAre self-taught; our founders do not come from any of the big HFTs\n\nChose to have no VCs on cap-table; this spot is for our colleagues\n\nMade Bratislava the central hub, not London or Amsterdam\n\nCulture\nWhen you do something you love, it does not feel like work. At Wincent work is purposeful and fulfilling.\nIntegrity is not negotiable\nHandshakes are sacred for us. Being in the money making business is good, but that alone is not worth our soul; we follow the motto “Be the good guys in the market”.\nSay things as they are\nLife is too short for games of politics, fluff, or bullshit in general.\nTrust each other\nWe embrace internal radical transparency in terms of compensation, bonuses, and trading strategie\nAbout the position\nWould you like to work alongside top global talent, solve complex algorithmic challenges, and leverage advanced technologies to innovate in the crypto trading industry?\nIf you answer \"YES,\" then we have something special for you: Join our team of software engineers from Facebook and Google, with academic backgrounds from Berkeley, Caltech, ETH, and MIT, to help build a world-class trading platform that automatically executes orders on 10+ crypto exchanges with dozens of crypto tokens.\nThis is an opportunity for you to make a significant impact and see the results of your hard work instantly.\nAbout the Data Platform team\nOur Data Platform team is responsible for storage of data from our internal components and external sources into one database. We run additional scheduled computations on top of stored data and execute queries from the database. The data platform enables quants and traders to easily work with large datasets and explore new trading strategies.\nWhat will you do in the Data Platform team\nCollaborate with Data Platform Engineers and other teams to improve data accessibility and tooling.\n\nPlay a key role in ensuring the quality and integrity of data, particularly for core engineering teams.\n\nExplore opportunities to enhance data processing and analysis using cloud technologies, with a preference for AWS.\n\nWhat we expect from you\nEngineering Experience: 5+ years\n\nData Engineering Expertise: Experience with data ingestion, strong data engineering coding skills in Scala, Python, Spark, proficiency in SQL, and cloud technologies (ideally AWS).\n\nExperience with BigData: Experience with BigData analysis and time series databases.\n\nCollaborative Spirit: Teamwork, communication, and collaboration are essential, as we work as a single unit, not as a group of individual contributors.\n\nSystems Thinking: Strong understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and performance optimization.\n\nOwnership & Problem Solving: We provide a lot of freedom to our engineers, so we expect you to be a “manager of one” who owns their agenda and delivers results.\n\nCulture Fit: Say things as they are, answer questions truthfully, leave ego at the door, challenge decisions when you disagree, and once a decision is final, commit and deliver your best.\nInterview process\nIntroductory call: Learn more about the company and get your questions answered.\n\nAlgorithmic coding challenge: Write an algorithmic solution in your chosen environment. This is a take-home challenge that you can do anytime in your free time.\n\nTech screening: A discussion about your tech stack and past projects.\n\nTechnical interview: Live coding to evaluate your coding skills as well as communication and problem solving skills.\n\nSystem design interview: Senior candidates are invited to describe how to design and improve system architecture.\n\nThe entire interview process is online.\nCompensation, work arrangement, and benefits\nSalary + bonuses: Your total estimated annual compensation package includes a fixed salary and performance bonuses paid twice a year. The base salary starts from €84k p.a. for Slovakia, or adjusted to your country of residence, with no ceiling for highly-specialized and top 0.1% engineering candidates. Earning €150,000 in Slovakia can be an equivalent of earning €393,164 in London according to livingcost.org. due to low living costs and low income taxes in Slovakia, see below.\n\nMonthly fixed salary: We value specific expertise and offer above-the-market rates tailored to your experience and seniority level, adjusted to your local residency.\n\nBonuses twice a year: We pay performance bonuses every 6 months. As an engineer, you can typically look forward to taking home between €40k and €70k annually, depending on your and the fund’s performance.\n\nEquity: You can opt to allocate a portion of your monthly salary toward equity in the company.\n\nFund investment: As a member of our team, you have an opportunity to invest in the firm’s proprietary fund, established in 2017 and typically reserved for partners and employees, which has built a strong track record over time.\n\nRemote/Office: This role requires full-time onsite collaboration at one of our offices. Remote collaboration is negotiable for senior staff.\n\nVacation: If you work full-time, you get 25 vacation days plus 12 public holidays each year, which totals approximately 40 days off per year (yes, that's A LOT!). If you need significantly more than that, you can arrange an unpaid leave with your manager and enjoy your sabbatical.\n\nFull-day catering: All-inclusive breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, fruits, and other treats in our offices save you hundreds of euros every month.\n\nAdditional benefits include unlimited taxi to/from the office, mental health support, education & sports budget, cell phone plan in select countries, parental leave, and more to boost your productivity.\n\nWhy to choose Bratislava over other locations\nLow living costs: Bratislava offers a significantly lower cost of living compared to most major European cities (source: Numbeo).\n\nLow income tax: Slovakia offers only 25% personal income tax, compared to 55% Austria, 50% Belgium, 49% Netherlands, 48% Portugal, 47% Spain, 45% UK, France, and Germany, 44% Greece, 43% Italy, 40% Ireland, and 32% Italy according to taxsummaries.pwc.com.\n\nRegional hub: Bratislava lies at the intersection of Austria (only 80km from Vienna), Czechia (130km from Brno), and Hungary (200km from Budapest).\n\nSafety: Bratislava is one of the safest capitals in Europe, providing peace of mind that is harder to find in larger cities with higher crime rates, such as Paris, London, or Brussels.\n\nHigh quality of life: Bratislava offers a balanced lifestyle with access to nature, excellent public amenities, and shorter commutes, unlike many larger cities where high living costs often compromise quality of life.\n\nBooming economy and opportunities: Bratislava is a growing economic hub with a focus on technology, finance, and innovation, attracting international companies and startups.\n\nDon't hesitate and apply today!\nWorking at Wincent\nAt Wincent, we foster a culture of transparency, ownership, and autonomy, where every team member is empowered to make a meaningful impact.
