Wintermute Asia Pte. Ltd
About Wintermute Wintermute is one of the largest crypto native algorithmic trading companies in digital assets. We provide liquidity algorithmically across cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, a broad range of OTC trading products as well as support high profile blockchain projects and traditional financial institutions moving into crypto. We actively participate in the development of the blockchain ecosystem through investments, partnerships, and incubation of projects. Working at Wintermute We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead the development of our NODE platform, enabling seamless crypto trading experiences for institutional clients. This is a hands on, cross functional role that will have direct impact. You will work closely with engineers, designers, core developers, and stakeholders across the business to define, build, and ship a secure, scalable, and high performance trading platform. What you will work on Define and own the technical architecture for Wintermute's trading products, client facing portals, and internal applications - making the key technology and design decisions that determine how these systems are built and scaled. Lead and mentor a team of engineers across the full stack, setting standards for code quality, review processes, and engineering best practices. Drive technical strategy and roadmap alongside product leadership, translating business requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions. Architect systems that handle high data volumes, real time streaming, and low latency interactions - the kind of challenges you'd find on a trading platform processing millions of events per second. Oversee frontend experience across the full customer lifecycle, from onboarding portals to real time trading dashboards. Work cross functionally with product, marketing, trading, and backend engineering teams to ensure alignment and delivery. Establish and evolve engineering processes - sprint planning, incident response, deployment pipelines - that let the team ship with confidence and speed. Hard skills requirements 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role (tech lead, engineering lead, or similar). Proven track record of making architecture decisions for complex, data intensive applications - ideally in trading platforms, financial services, or other high throughput/low latency environments. Deep experience building and scaling real time, high data volume systems (e.g., trading dashboards, live data feeds, streaming analytics, order management systems). Strong command of the modern frontend stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js - and the ability to evaluate and adopt new technologies as needed. Hands on server side experience: building and maintaining backend services, APIs, and data pipelines using languages such as Node.js, Python, Go, or similar. Solid understanding of end to end system architecture: APIs, microservices, event driven architectures, WebSockets, message queues, databases, and how frontend and backend systems work together in high performance environments. Experience with infrastructure and DevOps fundamentals: CI/CD, cloud platforms, CDN, monitoring/observability, and deployment strategies. Strong understanding of security best practices (OWASP, authentication/authorization patterns, secure data handling) - especially in a financial context. Experience hiring, mentoring, and growing engineers - building a high performing team, not just managing one. Nice to have Experience at a trading firm, fintech, or any environment where milliseconds matter and data volumes are extreme. Familiarity with algorithmic trading concepts and financial market infrastructure. Experience with performance optimization at scale - profiling, caching strategies, efficient rendering of large datasets. Experience with backend technologies beyond Node.js (Python, Go, Rust, or similar) for performance critical services. Write to us if you Love making hard technical decisions and seeing them pay off at scale. Get energized by building high performance systems that handle serious data volumes. Want to shape the technical direction of a product team, not just execute on someone else's plan. Are passionate about engineering culture - code quality, mentorship, and continuous improvement. Are curious about algorithmic trading and financial markets. Are determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to lead by example. Thrive in a meritocratic environment where impact matters more than titles. Prefer ownership over process - you'd rather build the right thing than follow a playbook. Enjoy working in person with your team (not fully remote). Tip for a successful application We will arrange a UK visa sponsorship and help with relocation to London.

It is up to you to make an impact. You will act like an owner and your incentives will be completely aligned with those of the company! Coding experience or some demonstrated ability to learn it very quickly is required. Responsibilities Monitor and rationalise crypto market flows across spot, perpetuals, futures, and options to identify volatility and skew dislocations. Analyse exchange-level positioning, funding dynamics, open interest, and on/off-exchange flows to uncover structural and tactical trading opportunities. Research and backtest volatility surface dynamics, term structure, skew behaviour, relative value and dispersion trades across major digital assets (e.g. BTC, ETH and liquid altcoins). Develop and refine alpha signals combining market microstructure insights with quantitative research tools. Actively participate in trading and risk-managing a multi-exchange crypto options portfolio, including delta, vega, gamma, and cross venue risk. Contribute to the desk's expansion into systematic and semi systematic volatility strategies. Own the full investment lifecycle from intuition and thesis development through modelling, execution, and post trade performance analysis. Collaborate with engineering and infrastructure teams to optimise electronic execution, improve latency sensitive routing, and enhance automation across exchanges. Monitor exchange counterparty risk, liquidity fragmentation, and structural inefficiencies unique to crypto derivatives markets. Hard skills requirements: 3-5+ years of option market making at one of the top tier trading firms in the space (must have); we prefer proprietary trading experience with significant component of systematic and algorithmic trading (not only position taking or executing client trades) Deep understanding of option pricing and risk frameworks; ability to design these from scratch based on prior expertise Excellent quantitative and analytical skills: we will test (must have) Python/coding skills is a significant advantage; otherwise, willingness and ability to learn Python within several months on own time is required Other requirements: Have an owner mentality - you focus on the ultimate result - P&L for the company and strategically growing the business and Wintermute partnerships 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. Have an entrepreneurial mindset versus working 9-to-5 mentality; prepared to work non standard working hours (since we are a pivotal player in the crypto markets that don't stop 24/7). Like working in a team collaborative environment.
