We make ~1% of global crypto trading volume. Our team is 150 people-mostly engineers, traders, and quants. We are a bit weird:\nWe strongly care about our culture.\n\nWe are self-taught. Our founders do not come from any of the big HFTs.\n\nNo VCs on our cap table. We reserve the spot for our employees instead.\n\nOur central hub is neither in London nor Amsterdam, but in Bratislava.\n\nCulture\nWe spend half of our waking hours working. That’s a lot. We don't see why we should treat work as a chore. We want it to be worth it.\nIntegrity isn’t for sale.\nNo amount of money is worth your soul. We choose to be the good guys in the market. Handshakes are sacred for us.\nSay things as they are.\nLife is too short for games of politics, or fluff in general.\nWe choose to trust people.\nWe embrace radical transparency inside-whether it’s compensation, bonuses, or trading strategies.\nAbout the Position\nWe are looking for someone who can enrich our knowledge and bring bits and pieces of HFT experience that we might be missing today.\nExpectations\nMust-Haves\nPrevious experience in systematic trading (At least three years of work experience)\n\nDeep understanding of probability & statistics, data modelling skills, scientific thinking.\n\nSome coding skills, e.g., in Python.\n\nHigh agency. You care about results, you care about improving things around you, you own things end-to-end.\n\nWillingness to relocate to Hong Kong, regular travelling to Bratislava.\n\nNice-to-Haves (Absolutely Not Necessary)\nCrypto experience.\n\nAbility to write production-grade code.\n\nWhat Will You Do?\nYou’ll work in small teams within an open, transparent environment (no pods). We expect you to be generating research ideas, but we also have a backlog of our own. These can be either improvements to our existing strategies, or completely new ones. Depending on your level of experience, you may be the primary driver of the research direction.\nResponsibility for a strategy means responsibility for: modelling, testing, but also monitoring trading in production.\nLastly, we also expect you to collaborate with others and share findings and knowledge.\nInterview Process\nOur interview process is pretty simple:\nOnline Problems: Low-to-medium complexity problems focused on probability, logic, and mathematical skills. This is a take-home challenge that you can do in your free time.\n\nQuant Interviews: Video-call with our quants focused on solving medium-to-hard complexity problems.\n\nBetting Games: Engage in a set of betting games to evaluate your quantitative reasoning and decision-making skills.\n\nDeep-Dive into Your Experience: Our CIO would discuss your experience and quant/trading knowledge with you.\n\nCompensation\nOur compensation package consists of four parts: cash, equity, bonuses, and the ability to invest into our fund.\nEquity\nWe want you to have skin in the game and big upside if we succeed as a company. We typically give 5-year equity grants to senior people.\nBonuses\nWe pay bonuses twice a year. These are discretionary and based on factors such as direct P&L you generated for the company, but also on your positive influence on the wider team. All bonuses are fully transparent within the company.\nFund Investment\nSince its 2017 inception, our fund has achieved a net annualized return of over 50%. You can choose how much money you'd like to invest.\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. We prioritize clear objectives and give you the freedom to innovate and grow within a supportive, high-performing environment.\nWe value exceptional TOP 1% talent over a perfect match to a job description. If our vision and values resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you. Don’t hesitate to reach out-let’s explore how you can be part of shaping the future of cryptocurrency trading with us!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3930,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Hong Kong","iso":"HK","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Blockchain & Crypto","Cryptocurrencies","Financial AI","Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T23:24:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.269,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":105,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wincent-quantitative-trader-hong-kong","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wincent-quantitative-trader-hong-kong.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T23:26:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9220,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":574},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=574"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwincent-quantitative-trader-hong-kong"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwincent-quantitative-trader-hong-kong"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwincent-quantitative-trader-hong-kong"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wincent-quantitative-trader-hong-kong\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwincent-quantitative-trader-hong-kong"}]}
