BlockTechAbout the Role
BlockTech is a fast-paced algorithmic trading firm facilitating global cryptocurrency derivatives and spot trading while expanding into new markets. The Mid-Office team is responsible for positions, PnL, and hedging, finding and fixing incorrect numbers before they impact traders and the risk team.
As a Software Engineer on the Mid-Office team, you will:
- Own the books: maintain and evolve position, trade, and PnL systems so they stay accurate across every venue.
- Do the quant work: build and refine hedging, Greeks, margin models, and early exercise premium calculations.
- Surface the risk: build risk views and calculations that show traders and the risk team what exposure is carried.
- Support the desk: work side by side with traders and researchers to ensure the data they rely on is correct and available.
- Deliver reporting: provide data for internal stakeholders and regulators, including PnL breakdowns, trade surveillance, treasury accounting, and compliance.
- Own it in production: spot discrepancies in live data, trace root causes, and maintain what you ship.

- Strong debugging skills - can trace problems to their source even in unfamiliar systems
- A critical mind that follows things until completion
- High ownership
