Tech Recruiter

About Wincent

We are a team of 120 people, primarily Engineers, Traders and Quants, focused on HFT with ~1% of global crypto trading volume. Being a bit weird, we

• Are self-taught; our founders do not come from any of the big HFTs

• Chose to have no VCs on cap-table; this spot is for our colleagues

• Made Bratislava the central hub, not London or Amsterdam

Culture

When you do something you love, it does not feel like work. At Wincent work is purposeful and fulfilling.

Integrity is not negotiable

Handshakes are sacred for us. Being in the money making business is good, but that alone is not worth our soul; we follow the motto “Be the good guys in the market”.

Say things as they are

Life is too short for games of politics, fluff, or bullshit in general.

Trust each other

We embrace internal radical transparency in terms of compensation, bonuses, and trading strategies.
