Working at Wintermute
We are looking for an experienced developer to join the Core Development team. Joining us means working on a small, highly efficient team with a broad mandate that covers many areas of the business. The role will be ideal for someone who is pragmatic, passionate about what they do and capable of writing clean and concise code. Neither crypto nor finance experience is required; we care more about your technical skills and mindset. We also look for strong interpersonal skills as you will work closely with traders, C++ developers, middle office, quantitative researchers and the DeFi Team on various projects. Most of our services are written in Python, but we also have high-performance infrastructure written in C++. For both Python and C++ we are usually on the most recent versions. Besides that we use Linux for all machines, PostgreSQL for databases and a few bespoke in-house solutions for problems common in high-frequency trading.
