About The Position

Wintermute is a global electronic trading firm operating across digital assets, prediction markets, and traditional financial markets. We provide liquidity and trade at scale across major cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, while expanding our activity across traditional financial products, including equities and commodities. Alongside our liquidity provision and proprietary trading activities, we provide a broad range of OTC trading solutions and work with leading financial institutions, exchanges, blockchain projects, and other major participants across global markets. Wintermute has scaled beyond digital assets and continues to expand into new markets where technology and market structure create opportunities for innovation. This includes our growing presence in prediction markets and traditional finance, alongside our established position as one of the leading liquidity providers in digital assets. Our US business was established in 2025 and is continuing to expand as Wintermute grows its presence across both digital assets and traditional markets. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing global trading firm, work across emerging and established markets, and play a meaningful role in the continued expansion of Wintermute. We are looking for a Graduate Algorithmic Trader with strong coding skills (Python) and a curiosity about HFT, liquidity provision, and crypto trading. At Wintermute, you will eventually be responsible for your own “desk”. You will have the opportunity to develop your own product (trading algorithms, trading strategies), while also getting advice and guidance from very experienced traders and developers, including the founders/management team. You will get a lot of independence and responsibility right away, and you'll learn at an unprecedented speed! No legacy systems, no corporate bureaucracy, no multiple levels of approvals. It is up to you to make an impact.

Requirements

Strong Python skills - 1-3 years of experience coding in Python (through work, study, or personal project experience)
Excellent quantitative and analytical skills

Owner mentality - focus on ultimate result (short and long-term P&L for the company), focus on strategically growing the business for the future vs “cashing-in” fast
Love problem solving, and love seeing your products work; you do whatever it takes to do what’s needed (trading, coding, analysing data, collaborating)
Determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to work hard and learn on the way
Like meritocracy and being judged by what you deliver
Entrepreneurial mindset versus working 9-to-5 mentality
Prepared to work non-standard working hours (since we are a high-growth startup operating in 24/7 crypto world)
Like working in a team environment
