DeFi Algorithmic Trader
About Raven
Raven is a proprietary crypto market-making and high-frequency trading firm. We trade spot, perpetuals, and prediction markets with dedicated low-latency infrastructure across eight major trading regions.
We hire competitive individuals and natural problem solvers with a record of ranking at something hard, whether competitive programming, games, or mathematics, who treat an unfamiliar problem as a challenge rather than an obstacle.
We can teach markets; we cannot teach drive. We build our own stack end to end, from connectivity and pricing through execution, monitoring, and research data.
