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
The platform around the trading path is what makes the firm operable. Live visibility is the screen the desk trusts, covering balances, trades, and the health of the estate itself. The trade record is the ledger of every fill on every venue, feeding PnL, risk, reconciliation, and research. Underneath both sit the shared services every strategy leans on. These systems exist and they work. The mandate is to make them low-latency and hard to kill,
without ever dropping the consumers already attached. None of them is allowed to be wrong, and none is allowed to be slow.
What You'll Own
Firm-wide visibility: One live picture of the firm, ingested in real time from every venue and internal system - balances and positions everywhere we hold risk, trades from order to fill, and the estate itself, from exchange sessions and blockchain nodes to hosts and links across eight regions. High-cardinality aggregation, alerting with signal instead of noise, and blind spots you close before they hide an incident.
The trade record: Every fill captured the moment it happens into the ledger read by PnL, risk, reconciliation, research, and increasingly auditors. One schema has to hold a centralized-venue fill, an on-chain settlement with its gas cost and confirmation depth, and a prediction-market resolution, without flattening away what makes each different.
