Wincent has been doing high-frequency trading in cryptocurrencies since 2017. Today, our algorithms trade fully automatically on the top cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide 24/7/365 and are responsible for ~1% of world-wide crypto trading volume. Because our algorithms are only as good as the people who work on them, we are looking for exceptional engineers and quants. There are more than 100 of us in Slovakia, Czechia, London, Gibraltar or in Switzerland.

What will you do? 

As a Senior Engineer at Wincent, you won’t just write code; you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the technological direction of the company. This is not a traditional boring engineering role—it’s a chance to leverage your leadership and product-building experience to create scalable tools and systems that directly influence our trading strategies and outcomes.

Whether you're skilled in full-stack development, low-level optimization, or algorithmic trading, there's an opportunity for you to make a significant impact. Join a team that includes software engineers from Facebook and Google, with academic backgrounds from Berkeley, Caltech, ETH, and MIT.

Why join us?

• Ownership: There is a lots of freedom for our engineers and we expect them to be managers of one, to own things.

• Impact at Scale: See the immediate impact of your work in a high-stakes environment where microseconds matter and earn money.

• Collaborative Excellence: Work alongside a team of elite engineers, former founders, and problem-solvers who value learning and innovation.

• Growth and Autonomy: A unique opportunity to transition your strategic expertise as a CTO or founder into a hands-on role with significant autonomy and responsibility.

• Cutting-Edge Technology: Build on modern tech stacks, experiment with new tools, and drive technological innovation.

What we’re looking for:

• Former Founders or Ex-CTOs: Experience building and scaling tech-driven businesses, with hands-on technical contributions.

• Entrepreneurial Mindset: A passion for problem-solving, taking ownership, and driving impactful projects.

• Full-Stack Expertise: Fluency in both backend and frontend technologies. Our stack is diverse, but we value adaptability over specific language or framework experience.

• Systems Thinker: Strong understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and performance optimization.

• Fast Learner: Ability to adapt to new technologies and domains quickly, with an insatiable curiosity for learning.

Perks of joining us at Wincent:

• Access to top-notch resources and budget for R&D experiments.

• Access to the TOP 1% team that values innovation and speed.

• Above the market compensation, including performance-based bonuses.

• Equity options for long-term wealth creation.

• A flexible, results-oriented work environment.

• Opportunities to shape the direction of the company as we scale.

Interview process:

Intro call with a recruiter, online assessment, technical interview, cultural fit interview, ... you know the grind. We'll invite you for an on-site meeting in Bratislava, Slovakia (all costs covered).

Compensation and work arrangement:

We offer competitive rates tailored to your experience and seniority level. Additionally, we provide flexibility in work arrangements, accommodating both onsite and remote work based on our team requirements.
