Graduate Software Engineer - Automated Trading Systems, Crypto at Fourstroke

The opportunity
Crypto markets grow rapidly and are heavily fragmented across exchanges and products. As a result, there’s a significant need for liquidity for an efficient and decentralized digital asset ecosystem.

At Fourstroke, we’re seizing this opportunity with our in-house build market- making platform that’s tailored to cryptocurrency markets. With our platform we capitalize on cross-exchange, cross-product, and cross-protocol (defi) market-making opportunities. We are securely funded, and we have a multi-year track record of high and consistent trading revenue.

Our team currently consists of the two co-founders, who have a strong background in software engineering and product management (both studied at TU Delft). They are passionate about developing cutting-edge trading software and want to accelerate the development of their market-making platform by expanding their team with two talented software engineers.

Are you a software engineer? Then this could be your opportunity to join an ambitious cryptocurrency trading startup as one of the first employees. You’ll get a huge opportunity to shape, not just our platform, but the industry as well.

What you will do
As one of the first employees at Fourstroke you will work closely with the co-founders to optimize and expand our market-making platform. The dev team owns the trading strategy and infrastructure end-to-end, meaning that your activities will be broad.

Here a few examples of projects you will be leading or involved in: optimizing exchange connectors (API/WebSocket clients), implementing new trading algorithms, expanding our analytics framework (we measure everything), driving and implementing architectural improvements, building an A/B testing framework, squeezing out latency across the whole stack, and further automation of our deployment pipeline.
