Trader
About the role
FalconX is a pioneering team of operators, investors, and builders committed to revolutionizing institutional access to the crypto markets. Operating at the intersection of traditional finance and cutting-edge technology, FalconX addresses the industry's foremost challenges: Navigating the digital asset market can be complex and fragmented, with limited products and services that support trading strategies, structures, and liquidity found in conventional financial markets. As a comprehensive solution for all digital asset strategies from start to scale, FalconX operates as the connective tissue empowering clients with seamless navigation through the ever‑evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
We are a leading market‑making firm focused on providing liquidity in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency markets. Utilizing advanced trading and risk systems, we operate across global crypto exchanges, offering deep liquidity and tight spreads in a variety of products. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a talented and driven junior trader to join our New York‑based team. This is a full‑time, in‑person role covering trading operations from Saturday through Wednesday, and an excellent opportunity to join one of the leading sell‑side crypto trading desks in the world.
