ABOUT RAVENRaven 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.

Life at Raven

We're an ambitious team building the future of algorithmic trading. You'll work closely with sharp engineers and traders who care deeply about the quality of their work, the systems they build, and the people they build them with.

We move fast, we think rigorously, and we take the time to do things right. If you're excited by hard problems, motivated by ownership, and want to help shape how we hire, we'd like to hear from you. Our teams are based in Sofia and Milan, and this role is based in one of those offices.

LOGISTICS- Sofia (Bulgaria) or Milan (Italy), with no preference between them. Whichever city the right person is in

- In office, not remote
- Crypto trades around the clock. You will share a sane on-call rotation with the team that owns these systems
