Quantitative Trader | Crypto Options
"What You'll Be Doing"
About This Role
BlockTech is an algorithmic trading firm headquartered in Amsterdam, with a second office in Singapore. We specialize in market making and trade cryptocurrency derivatives and spot markets globally using our own capital, and we're growing fast into new markets. Traders work side by side with quantitative researchers and engineers, so the path from a market read to live PnL is short.
What You'll Be Doing
Monitor, operate, and tune our automated trading systems in live markets.
Manage positions and risk, adjusting pricing and parameters as market behaviour shifts.
Bring new ideas to the desk, drawing on your previous trading experience.
Develop and deploy new strategies together with quantitative researchers and engineers.
Identify and research new business opportunities as markets change.
What We're Looking For
A strong academic background in a quantitative field such as mathematics, physics, statistics, or computer science.
3+ years of quantitative trading experience.
Proficiency in Python, with excellent numerical and algorithmic skills.
Focus and sound judgment under pressure when markets get busy.
No crypto experience is required — candidates who have successfully traded derivatives in other asset classes and want to bring that experience to BlockTech are encouraged to apply.
Bonus Points
Experience at a proprietary trading firm or hedge fund, particularly with mid-frequency strategies, prediction markets, or DeFi.
Why Join Us
Competitive base salary plus a performance bonus based on individual and company results.
Strong performers get the opportunity to buy into the trading fund.
On-site role on the trading floor in Amsterdam.
BlockTech sponsors the Dutch highly skilled migrant visa.
All-in relocation package and Dutch classes for international hires; eligible hires may qualify for the 30% ruling.
Pension plan, company laptop, and home internet reimbursement.
An extensive in-house training program and an annual learning and development budget.
An environment that embraces AI, both to speed up work and to advance trading systems.
Gym reimbursement and sports during working hours, including kickboxing, CrossFit, fitness, and soccer.
Weekly Friday drinks, monthly outings, quarterly sports competitions, and two trips abroad a year.
Daily breakfast and warm lunch, plus snacks and drinks all day.
A flat hierarchy where ideas can ship quickly and the best idea wins regardless of who proposes it.
High degree of autonomy, with ownership of hard problems from concept to production, reverse leadership, and an equal playing field for personal and professional growth.
