The Role

About Us

Midpoint Markets is a small but growing financial sciences team that applies a systematic and quantitative approach to tackle the most complex challenges in the cryptocurrency trading space. Our diverse group of scientists, engineers, and traders are committed to developing innovative, rigorous, and practical solutions to these evolving problems. Operating in a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly competitive environment, we address a wide range of challenges and seek collaborative problem-solvers. We're searching for the brightest minds to join our team and drive forward our shared mission.

About the position

We’re seeking Quantitative Research Interns to help identify and solve problems that have not been considered by anyone else before. Key responsibilities include:

  • Helping us scale our strategies to new markets
  • Assisting in quantitative research on cryptocurrency pricing, deriving signals, and strategy optimization.
  • Helping to conduct research projects into niche market forces to improve our trading performance.

What we look for

We’re not focused on specific technical experience—whether in Python, finance, or other domains. Instead, we value smart, driven thinkers with a passion for solving complex problems. We’re more interested in how you think and approach challenges than what you already know. The ideal candidate will possess:

  • Strong interest in financial markets, cryptocurrencies, crypto assets, and decentralized finance.
  • Exceptional quantitative and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong team player with excellent communication skills.
  • Exceptional mathematical intuition.
  • Ability to understand complex metrics, statistics, machine learning models, and analytics.
  • Comfortable operating in a frenetic, high-stakes environment.

Benefits

  • Generous wellness benefits
