Alpha Trader (Crypto) – P&L Driven
proprietary trading firm
About the Firm
Our client is a high-performing proprietary trading firm operating at the sharp end of digital asset markets.
They deploy quantitative and discretionary strategies across crypto and adjacent markets, backed by strong infrastructure, deep liquidity access, and disciplined risk management.
This is a performance-first environment where capital follows results.
Overview
This is not a junior or mid-level role.
We’re hiring an elite trader / researcher with a proven ability to generate, defend, and scale PnL in live markets.
You will have direct ownership of capital, strategy, and risk. Minimal bureaucracy. Maximum accountability.
The upside reflects that.
Top performers here are not thinking in salaries. They are earning multi–seven figure bonuses.
What We’re Looking For
1. Proven PnL (Non-Negotiable)
You must be able to demonstrate:
-
A consistent track record of generating meaningful PnL
-
Clear linkage from idea → strategy → execution → alpha → realized returns
-
Repeatability across different market conditions
If exact numbers cannot be shared, you should be able to clearly articulate:
-
Your strategy
-
Your edge
-
Your risk framework
-
Why it works
2. Real Edge
We’re not looking for generic market participation.
We’re looking for traders who:
-
Have a defined, defensible edge
-
Understand where their returns actually come from
-
Can adapt as market structure evolves
3. Ownership Mindset
-
You think in terms of capital efficiency and risk-adjusted returns
-
You are comfortable running risk and being judged on outcomes
-
You operate independently but can collaborate when it improves performance
Why This Role
-
Direct access to meaningful capital
-
High-performance, low-politics environment
-
Infrastructure that lets you focus on trading, not friction
-
Compensation aligned with output
If you generate real PnL, you will be paid accordingly.
Multi–seven figure outcomes are realistic for top performers.
Who This Is Not For
-
Passive researchers without execution exposure
-
Traders without a verifiable edge
-
Candidates looking for stability over performance
