Quantitative Trading Analyst (Risk Architecture)

Location: Porto

Hybrid | Full-time

Compensation: $150K - $175K

Our client is a high-growth financial technology firm on a mission to democratize access to global markets. By leveraging blockchain technology, the organization is replacing traditional, opaque brokerage models with a transparent, permissionless trading stack. This infrastructure allows users with digital wallets to trade stocks, commodities, currencies, and digital assets with full transparency and verifiable, auditable code. Having secured over $27.9M in funding from premier venture capital firms—including General Catalyst, Jump, LocalGlobe, and Susquehanna (SIG)—the company is positioned at the forefront of the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) movement.

The organization is seeking a Quantitative Trading Analyst to architect and upgrade the risk management engine securing the protocol. This role serves as the critical bridge between Traditional Finance (TradFi) derivatives and DeFi market structures. The mandate involves rigorously quantifying protocol risk and designing systems that facilitate high-leverage trading of real-world assets while mathematically ensuring protocol solvency.

Key Responsibilities

Smart Contract Engineer (Rust) - High-Performance DeFi Infrastructure

Location: PST-CAT preference

Compensation: Competitive

We are building the next generation of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) liquidity infrastructure on the Solana blockchain. We are solving a critical industry problem where reliance on over-collateralized lending leads to inefficient capital use, fragmented systems, and unnecessary liquidation risks.

Our solution introduces under-collateralized borrowing, programmable margin accounts, and composable on-chain strategies ("Recipes"), all built with high-performance Rust smart contracts. We are redefining how liquidity moves in DeFi: faster, safer, and more capital-efficient.

We are looking for a highly capable Smart Contract Engineer (Rust) to join our core engineering team and shape the technical backbone of our protocol. You will design, build, and optimize Rust-based smart contracts that power our DeFi infrastructure, working closely with product and protocol teams to create scalable, secure, and innovative financial primitives.

As a core contributor, you will take full ownership of your work, from concept and research to mainnet deployment and maintenance.

Senior Frontend Engineer - High-Performance Financial Platform

Location: New York, San Francisco (Office)

Compensation: $185K - $300K

We are hiring on behalf of our client who are building a revolutionary Multi-Asset Margin solution for one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in decentralized finance. Currently, the crypto derivatives sector generates $20B–$30B in annual revenue, and multi-asset margin accounts for over 86% of all trading activity. Their mission is to bridge the gap between diverse collateral types and high-performance trading.

Their platform allows users to post variable forms of collateral without needing to sell their assets for stablecoins. By building sophisticated blockchain-integrated systems "under the hood," they extend liquidity to the venues of their users' choice, bringing the market to them rather than forcing them to navigate multiple fragmented platforms.

As a member of their Product & Platform team, you will build and maintain the applications that power these services. You will collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers to deliver responsive, high-performance user interfaces that define the future of DeFi trading.

The Frontend Engineer will be responsible for the full lifecycle of application development, focusing on performance, user experience, and real-time data visualization.
