Meaningful <alt>impact</alt> right from the start

Meaningful impact right from the start

When applying to Wintermute, I knew that I would be working hands on in the middle of the crypto landscape. From day one, I was working on new exchange infrastructure, interacting with the trading system and helping to improve the existing code base. Even as a new joiner, my ideas were given time and thought and I had the opportunity to work on projects that I helped propose - including an improved tracker for trade P&L and better metrics for our OTC trades. The small team and focus on meritocracy makes you feel like you're having a meaningful impact. It's great to be able to see your improvements working live, and to be rewarded for their success.

Cross-team <alt>collaboration</alt> is integral

Cross-team collaboration is integral

Being at the forefront of DeFi, Wintermute’s Research team offered me a perspective that is often elusive from the outside. One of the most enriching aspects of my experience at Wintermute is the chance to collaborate across our multi talented team. Their mentorship and insights play a pivotal role in my growth. One of my projects involved diving into the MEV Supply Chain, and I encountered a problem whilst analyzing block builder behaviors. Being able to turn around to discuss with the Wintermute DeFi team, helped me quickly unlock new ways of tackling the issue at hand.

Wintermute values entrepreneurship

I started my journey with Wintermute as an intern. From cooperating with different blockchain projects, providing liquidity to the crypto markets, or building new projects on DeFi, you get to work in the epicenter of the ecosystem. Wintermute values entrepreneurship. Your career growth is highly correlated with your drive to bring new ideas, improve existing systems and expand your accountabilities. Even as an intern, my voice was heard and my contributions were well accounted for. Now I am overseeing an extensive number of partnerships across liquidity provisioning and OTC trading.

Evolving challenges keep the job interesting

Driven by my passion for crypto, I joined Wintermute to elevate my personal interest into a career. I work on building internal trading systems that integrate with leading DeFi protocols. DeFi, being a relatively novel ecosystem, exposes me to diverse and challenging problems daily: from modeling various sources of AMM liquidity, to optimizing transaction execution on chains like Ethereum and Solana that have very different approaches to transaction inclusion and ordering. The ambition of the Wintermute DeFi team and the constantly evolving on-chain trading landscape keep the job interesting, making this an exciting place to work.
