Hyperliquid's architecture allows EVM protocols to tap into liquidity on CLOB based infrastructure, enabling access to both spot and derivative venues. This unlock allows Button to reimagine smart contract based money markets, where the expertise of an experienced quantitative engineer can have a high impact in the success of the protocol.

In this role, you will lead the development of trading infrastructure and execution for Button, working closely with the CTO to reimagine the next generation of lending and debt markets.

  • Design and implement delta neutral trading strategies

  • Design and implement collateral liquidation and risk management strategies

  • Design and implement trading infrastructure for liquidity provisioning on derivative markets

  • Collaborate closely with protocol engineers to build robust and secure workflows

  • Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and ensuring adherence to established coding standards and best practices

QUALIFACTIONS

  • 5+ years of experience working in a quantitative/trading role, ideally in a crypto based environment

  • 5+ years of experience working with a modern backend languages (Go, Rust, Python, etc) in distributed architectures

  • Experience as a MEV searcher or arbitrager is a plus, but not required

  • Experience executing code from TEEs is a plus, but not required
