What the job involves

  • Talos is currently seeking a Client Services Engineer to help streamline client service by creating automation and instrumentation solutions
  • You'll identify common client issues and develop proactive solutions to prevent them
  • You'll also help maintain system stability through real-time monitoring of our production systems
  • As part of a global team, you'll serve as a key contact between Talos and our clients, addressing trading and operational queries
  • This role provides an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
  • Innovate Client Services: Drive the transformation and reduction of “toil” of client support by developing innovative automation solutions, ensuring seamless and efficient service experiences
  • Anticipate and Solve Problems: Stay ahead of client needs by identifying common pain points and creating proactive solutions, preventing issues before they arise

Our take

So far, the increasing institutional interest in the value of crypto-assets has been stymied by a lack of scaled, efficient, and secure infrastructure that these institutions could use for trade. Talos addresses the problem of digital asset trading between institutions, helping them to securely sidestep these obstacles into a fresh market with potentially huge returns.

The company provides a range of end-to-end, highly configurable tools to populate and facilitate the institutional crypto-asset market from just one platform. Talos' approach is helping to lower the bar for wide-ranging adoption of cryptocurrency, supporting the full lifespan of digital assets trading. That said, because they’re developing the market of an entirely new asset-class, progress is accelerated and competition may have a chance to overtake.

Promising for Talos was the interest of prominent investors like PayPal and Fidelity during their Series A funding round, with the funds being used to create an institutional-grade service to help them both shape and spearhead this developing market. More recently, the company has made a number of significant partnerships, and also acquired D3X Systems, the integration of which will allow its clients to design, validate, implement and manage highly customized portfolios.

  • Decentralized but tight-knit - Crypto is geographically distributed – and so are we. But we’re close-knit and our doors (real-life and Zoom-life) are always open. Our teams operate with flexibility and autonomy
