Our take
Recent developments in mobile applications and financial tech have resulted in increased demand for digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, and this growing demand is putting pressure on traditional market makers. Ultimately, the increased scale and complexity of the new digital asset landscape has exposed inefficiencies in existing liquidity providers.
Wintermute uses an algorithmic approach to provide market-making services that facilitate digital asset liquidity with long-term scaling and efficiency in mind. The company currently provides its market-making services to over 50 centralized and decentralized trading platforms, including Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
The company has taken a unique approach towards market making by operating with the assumption that digital asset markets are only going to get bigger and more complex. By streamlining the market making process with algorithmic automation and thus optimizing efficiency, Wintermute presents itself as a future-proof solution for the rapidly scaling digital asset industry.

Company benefits
- A unique opportunity to work on very interesting projects, get the level of responsibility and ownership that would be unlikely at any other project or trading firm
- A unique opportunity to join one of the strongest and most successful DeFi teams globally
- With Wintermute you don’t make a bet on a single product, platform, chain or technology; we’ll win if DeFi wins as a whole
- Great company culture: informal, non-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional yet collaborative and entrepreneurial
- Option to work from London or Singapore offices, as well as remotely; we generally prefer at least 60% working from the office but are open to remote candidates
- Aligned incentive structure: high upside from performance-based variable pay with very transparent bonus system
- We offer standard perks too, like pension, private health insurance and free food, but that’s probably not the right reason to join us
Company values
- Ambitious: We set the most ambitious goals. We set the highest standards for ourselves and work hard. We play to win
- Collaborative: We go above and beyond to help our partners and counterparties grow. We work as a team, not as siloed groups and individuals. We are united by common goals and values
- Entrepreneurial: We love building new innovative things. We move very fast and focus on the results. We empower everyone from day 1 to act like an owner
- Meritocratic: We are non-hierarchical, informal, and direct. We focus on results above seniority and experience. We generously reward results
