Careers
Join 150+ professionals responsible for $5bn in daily trading volume.
Wincent is a team of 150 Engineers, Traders, and Quants building systematic trading strategies across global markets, with roots in crypto and growing footprints across other asset classes. We handle ~1% of global crypto trading volume today, but both our ambitions and the tooling we build extend well beyond a single market.
We are a little weird.
Our founders are self-taught; we didn’t grow up in the traditional HFT world.
We chose no VCs, so ownership belongs to colleagues who build the company.
We made Bratislava our home base, not London or Amsterdam.
We believe that when you do something you love, it doesn’t feel like work. At Wincent, work is supposed to be purposeful, challenging, and deeply fulfilling.
Integrity is not negotiable. Handshakes matter. We aim to be the good guys in the market.
Money matters, but not more than our principles.
We say things as they are. No fluff. No politics. No games.
We trust each other. We practice radical transparency in compensation, bonuses, and even trading strategies, because trust compounds over time, both intellectually and financially.
We are looking for a Quant & Trading Support teammate who operates at the same seniority and trust level as our Quants and Traders, but with a different focus.
This role is about diligent ownership of production and trading operations, not creative strategy research. Your mission is to make sure the machine runs cleanly, predictably, and transparently, so that Traders can focus on tough decisions and Quants can focus on improving strategies.
You will sit with Quants and Traders, understand the context behind strategies, monitor their behavior in production, and take ownership of everything around trading, including: performance monitoring, dashboards, data visibility, exchange coordination, and operational follow-through.
This is a role for someone smart, reliable, and precise, who doesn’t drop the ball. You do not need to be creative or ambitious in the alpha-generation sense. You do need to care deeply about correctness, trust, and outcomes.
Take ownership of production trading operations and day-to-day health of live strategies
Monitor trading performance, PnL, risk metrics, and execution behavior across venues
Investigate anomalies and deviations, communicating your findings clearly to Traders and Quants
Build, maintain, and improve dashboards and monitoring tools by:
Writing queries
Creating clear, reliable data visualizations
Ensuring the right metrics are visible at the right time
Maintain oversight of exchange changes (APIs, rules, fees, behavior) and coordinate communication with exchanges
Act as a first line of defense when things behave unexpectedly
Ensure research, production, and reality stay aligned through careful validation and follow-up
Document issues, resolutions, and learnings for future robustness
This is not a junior support role. We are looking for someone who is:
Diligent: detail-oriented, careful, and consistent
Smart: strong analytical thinking and ability to understand complex systems
Comfortable operating with context, not just checklists
A clear and reliable communicator (especially when things go wrong)
Calm under pressure and structured in problem-solving
Must-Haves
Strong quantitative background
Baseline coding ability (Python preferred) to analyze data, write queries, and build tooling
Experience or strong interest in trading systems, market data, or production environments
Ability to work independently and take full ownership of your domain
Based in Bratislava as this is a trust-heavy, in-person role
Nice-to-Haves (Not Required)
Experience in trading support, quant ops, or live trading environments
Familiarity with crypto exchanges and market microstructure
SQL, time-series analysis, or dashboarding / building BI tools
Prior exposure to production systems where correctness matters
At Wincent, we foster a culture of transparency, ownership, and autonomy, where every team member is empowered to make a meaningful impact. We prioritize clear objectives and give you the freedom to innovate and grow within a supportive, high-performing environment.

The internship lasts for 7 weeks. It begins in June and runs through the end of August, taking place fully on-site at our offices. This timeline is designed to give you enough time to work on meaningful projects while still fitting into a summer break.
Our interview process is designed to test your problem-solving ability rather than prior experience in trading. We focus on probability, statistics, logical reasoning, and intuition, as well as your ability to think under uncertainty.
The process begins with an online assessment. Successful candidates are then invited to two technical rounds covering probability and statistics. The final stage is an on-site session in Bratislava, where you’ll participate in interactive betting games that simulate real decision-making scenarios.
For a detailed breakdown, please check our interview process.
The process typically involves four stages: an online assessment (with a two-week deadline), two technical interviews, and a final on-site round. After you submit your assessment, we schedule interviews as soon as possible based on interviewer availability.
From initial application to final decision, the timeline can vary, but in most cases it takes about one to three weeks. For exceptional candidates who progress quickly and have good scheduling availability, the entire process can sometimes be completed in as little as 10 days.
