  • Knowledge of forex markets, FX instruments, and price discovery for various currencies — from majors to exotics.

  • Solid experience in hedging logic, managing fiat settlement flows, or optimizing asset rebalancing across multiple exchanges.

  • Deep understanding of market microstructure and how to design systems that extract edge from it.

  • Strong ability to analyze PnL, post-trade statistics, and fine-tune strategies to optimize Sharpe ratio, turnover, and drawdowns.

  • Advanced proficiency in Python, applied statistics, and predictive modeling.

  • Familiarity with Rust is a valuable advantage.

  • Able to design and maintain robust trading infrastructure, including real-time monitoring, execution diagnostics, dynamic parameter tuning, and automated risk controls.
