Quantitative Trader - Crypto Prediction Markets
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.
The rOLE
wHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Pricing digitals and barriers off the crypto volatility surface. You will work the skew, term structure, and jump risk, and close the gap between a model price and what the market will actually give you
- Quoting and market making. Two-sided prices that reprice as the underlying moves, re quote and cancel logic tuned to how fast we can actually reach the venue, and inventory managed across strikes and expiries
- Hedging Delta into perpetuals and spot, funding and basis as the cost of carry, and pin risk and gamma as expiry approaches
- Event probabilities on the unhedgeable half of the book. Calibrated numbers with explicit priors, sized small when you honestly do not know
- Research on our own full-depth historical data. Backtests that respect latency and queue position, not just paper returns
- Risk Correlated exposure across strikes, expiries, and venues; tail risk through a jump; and oracle and resolution risk where settlement is a mechanism, not a given
Who we're looking for
- You have priced and traded options, digitals, or short-dated derivatives with real money behind the quotes, in crypto or traditional markets
- Derivatives depth, including volatility surfaces, digital and barrier payoffs, and greeks you reason through rather than look up
- Microstructure judgment, meaning queue position, adverse selection, latency budgets, and why the "correct" price is not always the one you post
- Strong applied statistics and probability, with the discipline to defend a number you publish
- Backtest hygiene. You know how look-ahead and unrealistic fills creep in, and you distrust good results until they survive replay
- Fluent English
- Prediction-market and on-chain settlement mechanics are a plus. You will own oracle and resolution risk from day one, so you should already understand how a contract actually settles
- No degree required. Experience is what matters
logistics
- Sofia (Bulgaria) or Milan (Italy), with no preference between them. Whichever city the right person is in
- In office, not remote
