Trading Systems Integration Engineer in Amsterdam

About BlockTech BlockTech is an algorithmic trading firm operating at the frontier of global crypto derivatives and spot markets. We trade 24/7 across some of the fastest-moving, most data-rich venues in finance. Crypto remains one of the few markets where a researcher can still meaningfully move the edge: abundant data, novel microstructure, and the shortest possible loop between a research idea and live PnL. We're looking for an experienced Quantitative Researcher to take ownership of that edge and push it further. The role This is a senior, hands-on research seat on our trading floor. You'll own a research agenda end-to-end from hypothesis, dataset construction, feature engineering, model training, backtesting, live deployment, monitoring, and iteration. You'll be trusted to set its direction. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow researchers, traders and analysts, shape how we price and trade, and help raise the bar for research across the floor, including mentoring less experienced researchers and influencing the tools and standards the team relies on. You will: Own price-prediction, signal, execution, and anomaly-detection models across crypto derivatives and spot markets from idea to live PnL Shape our research, backtesting, and trading infrastructure together with engineers, so good ideas reach production quickly and safely Own models in production: monitor live performance, diagnose decay, and iterate on what you ship Set research direction alongside traders, deciding which trades are worth making and why Raise the research bar by mentoring colleagues, reviewing work, and setting standards for rigour What we're looking for 4+ years of hands-on quantitative research and/or applied ML experience, with a track record of models you've taken into production trading live A strong academic foundation in a quantitative discipline (mathematics, physics, statistics, computer science, ML/AI, or similar) Fluency in Python and the modern ML stack (PyTorch and/or

At Graviton, every strategy, model and edge begins not with instinct, but with someone asking a better question than everyone else. As a Quantitative Research Intern, you'll spend 10-12 weeks working on research that directly shapes how we understand markets and build trading strategies. You'll collaborate with researchers and technologists to investigate market behaviour, test hypotheses, build predictive models and solve problems where the answers aren't obvious. This isn't an internship where you observe from the sidelines. Outstanding work has the potential to shape production strategies and generate real, measurable returns. Ideal candidates are quantitatively sharp, practically minded problem solvers, programmers, mathematicians and scientists who are excited to solve the hardest problems in our field, across our offices in the US, Singapore, Amsterdam and London. What You'll Work On You'll work on real research problems, not simulated exercises, discovering predictive patterns from billions of market events, designing statistical models, and applying machine learning to open research problems. Your work would include: Discovering predictive patterns from billions of market events Designing statistical models that identify trading opportunities Applying probability, optimization and machine learning to open research problems Building AI-powered research agents that accelerate experimentation Developing infrastructure for rapid, large-scale research Designing experiments and backtests to evaluate hypotheses Translating research into production-ready trading signals Exploring new ML, AI and quant finance techniques to find the next source of alpha What You'll Learn Beyond the technical exposure, you'll learn how experienced researchers approach hard problems: breaking them down, questioning assumptions, and deciding based on evidence rather than intuition. You'll be paired with a mentor, reporting manager and buddy, with regular code reviews and feedback through

At Graviton, every strategy, model and edge begins not with instinct, but with someone asking a better question than everyone else. As a PhD Quantitative Research Intern, you'll spend 10-12 weeks pointing the research skills you've spent years building at markets. You'll collaborate with researchers and technologists to investigate market behaviour, test hypotheses, build predictive models and solve problems where the answers aren't obvious. This isn't an internship where you observe from the sidelines, or re-run someone else's experiment. Outstanding work has the potential to shape production strategies and generate real, measurable returns. Ideal candidates are researchers who want to see their methods meet live markets: mathematicians, physicists, statisticians and computer scientists who are excited to solve the hardest problems in our field, across our offices in the US, Singapore, Amsterdam and London. What You'll Work On You'll work on real research problems, not simulated exercises. Your work would include: Discovering predictive patterns from billions of market events Designing statistical models that identify trading opportunities Applying probability, optimization and machine learning to open research problems Running large-scale simulations and experiments on high-performance research infrastructure Designing experiments and backtests to evaluate hypotheses Building AI-powered research agents that accelerate experimentation Developing infrastructure for rapid, large-scale research Translating research into production-ready trading signals Exploring new ML, AI and quant finance techniques to find the next source of alpha What You'll Learn Beyond the technical exposure, you'll learn what changes when research meets live markets: why a result that would survive peer review can still fail as a trading signal, how costs and capacity constrain an idea that looks clean on paper, and how to tell a model that is right from one that is right for the wrong reason.

At Graviton, we don't believe the best trading strategies come from following established playbooks. They come from asking better questions. Why does a pattern exist? What is driving it? Is it real or just noise? Can it be explained, modelled and turned into an edge? As a Quantitative Researcher, you'll work on those questions every day. You'll investigate market behaviour, develop quantitative models, build and test hypotheses and turn insights into trading strategies, working alongside researchers and technologists in an environment where an idea on a whiteboard can reach live trading quickly. This isn't a role where the answers are in a textbook. The problems are open-ended, the data is enormous, and finding the answers is the job. Ideal candidates are rigorous thinkers who genuinely enjoy mathematics, programming and figuring out things that aren't obvious, based in our Singapore, London, Amsterdam or US offices. What You'll Work On You'll work across quantitative research and systematic trading, taking ideas through the full lifecycle: question, hypothesis, experiment, model, validation, strategy, production. Depending on your team and research interests, your work would include: Discovering predictive patterns and sources of alpha from billions of market events Formulating hypotheses about market behaviour and designing experiments to test them Applying probability, statistics, optimization and machine learning to build predictive models and quantitative signals for systematic trading Designing robust backtests and statistical tests to distinguish genuine signals from noise Working with large and complex datasets to uncover patterns that aren't immediately visible Investigating market microstructure and how markets behave at different timescales Evaluating strategy performance, identifying weaknesses and continuously refining models Developing research infrastructure and AI-powered tools and agents that make experimentation faster and analysis deeper Working c
