Trading Operations Analyst

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.

We are seeking a Trader to join our Trading Operations team. In this role, you will be directly responsible for helping us scale our strategies to new markets. You will also help us build tools to progressively automate the management of our trading and respond to changing market dynamics. This role is for off hours coverage and will require you to work independently while having the discretion to escalate issues as necessary. Responsibilities include:

• Oversee automated trading processes and detect issues with them.
• Design reports, dashboards, and alerts to assist with monitoring our trading and trading processes and detect issues.
• Build tools to improve our logging and accounting processes.
• Understand and oversee operational components of trading strategies and processes, and plan further automation to existing ones.
• Execute operational components of trading that require human intervention.
• Manage monitoring of exposures and hedges, as well as calculation / reconciliation of PnL.

We’re not focused on specific technical experience—whether in Python, finance, or other domains. Instead, we value smart, driven people 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:

• Bachelors or higher degree in a technical or quantitative field.
• 3 years of work experience is preferred.
• Thrive in an independent high accountability environment.
• Understanding of trading is preferred.
• Basic python proficiency.
