About Keyrock

Since our beginnings in 2017, we've grown to be a leading change-maker in the digital asset space, renowned for our partnerships and innovation. 

Today, we rock with over 180 team members around the world. Our diverse team hails from 42 nationalities, with backgrounds ranging from DeFi natives to PhDs. Predominantly remote, we have hubs in London, Brussels and Singapore, also soon to be Paris, and host regular online and offline hangouts to keep the crew tight.

We are trading on more than 80 exchanges, and working with a wide array of asset issuers. As a well-established market maker, our distinctive expertise led us to expand rapidly. Today, our services span market making, options trading, high-frequency trading, OTC, and DeFi trading desks.

But we’re more than a service provider. We’re an initiator. We're pioneers in adopting the Rust Development language for our algorithmic trading, and champions of its use in the industry. We support the growth of Web3 startups through our Accelerator Program. We upgrade ecosystems by injecting liquidity into promising DeFi, RWA, and NFT protocols. And we push the industry's progress with our research and governance initiatives. 

At Keyrock, we're not just envisioning the future of digital assets. We're actively building it.

  • Strong grasp of options trading concepts, including market making, positional systematic trading, and derivative strategies

  • At least four years of experience in the trading industry, ideally managing a profitable options book

  • Hands-on experience in TradeFi, DeFi, and/or crypto trading is strongly preferred

  • Understanding of crypto markets and their structure (a plus)

  • Ability to research, design, and implement option trading models and strategies

  • Proficiency in object-oriented programming languages, preferably Python, but also C#, C++, Java, or Rust

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a problem-solving approach, quick decision-making skills, and a willingness to experiment and learn

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with global teams from diverse backgrounds

  • Open to innovative approaches and new methodologies in a fast-paced, team-driven environment

  • Fluency in English

  • Autonomy in your time management thanks to flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely 

  • The freedom to create your own entrepreneurial experience by being part of a team of people in search of excellence
