Infrastructure Sourcing Operations Lead in Amsterdam

About BlockTech BlockTech is a fast-paced algorithmic trading firm facilitating global cryptocurrency derivatives and spot trading while expanding into new markets. As we continue to grow rapidly, we are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Foundation team amid our exciting scale-up phase! You will Build & optimize: Design, develop, and maintain high-reliability, low-latency, and high-throughput foundational systems that enable our trading and technology teams to scale efficiently. Ingest & aggregate: Collect trading business data with minimal latency impact and ingest both public and private exchange information into our trading system. Store & stream: Develop and maintain infrastructure for real-time data aggregation and long-term storage, as well as our Kafka-based messaging systems. Collaborate & support: Work closely with multiple teams, assisting them in integrating with and making the most of our foundational systems. Innovate: Drive projects from concept to deployment with full ownership, and explore new tools, frameworks, and approaches to keep our infrastructure best-in-class. The Foundation team develops core software infrastructure (libraries, frameworks, and systems) for BlockTech, solving common problems and lending its expertise to enable other teams to stay focused on their respective domains. They own, develop, and configure a wide variety of critical, high-reliability software, ranging from low-level ultra-low-latency shared memory IPC libraries to high-throughput data buses and data aggregation systems including Kafka, NATS, PostgreSQL, and Iceberg. They work primarily in Rust, but also use Python and SQL. If you thrive on low-level problem-solving, building robust frameworks from scratch, and enabling others to move faster, this role is for you. What We're Looking For Essential: 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, with a strong focus on systems-level optimisation and awareness of hardware constraints Proficiency

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 is one of the few markets where the gap between a good model and live PnL comes down to how fast and how reliably you can ship it. Abundant data, novel microstructure, and a short path to production mean the quality of our infrastructure directly moves the edge. We're looking for a Quantitative Developer to build that infrastructure and get our models into production. The role This is a hands-on engineering seat on our trading floor. You'll own the infrastructure that turns research models into production trading systems, working primarily in Python and Rust, the language our models and systems are written in. You'll build the frameworks and tooling that let quants ship their code to production and keep those systems running once they're live. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with researchers, traders, and fellow engineers, building the tooling, pipelines, and standards that let good ideas reach production quickly and safely, and helping raise the engineering bar across the floor. You will Build and own the infrastructure that takes models from research to production - data pipelines, backtesting, deployment, and monitoring. Turn research prototypes into robust, performant, production-grade code that runs reliably in live trading Work closely with quantitative researchers and traders to get new models live quickly and safely Own the systems you ship in production: monitor performance, diagnose issues, and keep latency and reliability high Improve the tools, standards, and pipelines the team relies on, raising the engineering bar across the floor What we're looking for 2+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production-grade systems A strong academic foundation in a STEM discipline (computer science, mathematics, p

Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster. Business Analyst - Payments Pricing As a Business Analyst - Pricing in the Global Payments Pricing team, you'll be central to Adyen's financial performance in global card payments. This role goes beyond traditional pricing - you'll be our team's expert on interchange and scheme fee charges for Card Networks such as Mastercard and Visa in the EMEA region, and ensure the financial stability of Adyen’s transactional cost prediction engine. Your responsibilities include optimizing our fee structure, contributing to reconciliation of costs, improving our processes and tooling, and generating insights that provide a holistic understanding of complex fee dynamics. You will reinforce Adyen’s commitment to fee transparency and reduce our customer’s total cost of payment. As the go-to expert within the Global Payments Pricing team, you’ll work closely together with global teams, including Product, Engineering, Finance, and Partnerships. What You'll Do Ensure merchants are charged the most accurate and optimal cost price for payment transactions, leveraging data and insights to refine fee passthrough predictions. Analyze and identify the necessary data to address questions, extract the required data, and perform analysis. Implement fee change rollouts to maintain our cost infrastructure and manage the merchant experience. Optimize, build

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 using state-of-the-art ML 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

About BlockTech BlockTech is a fast-paced algorithmic trading firm at the frontier of global cryptocurrency derivatives and spot markets. We trade 24/7 across some of the most data-rich, fast-moving venues in finance, and we use that data to build smarter models, sharper signals, and more adaptive systems. Crypto is one of the few markets where a researcher can still meaningfully move the edge. The data is abundant, the microstructure is novel, and the feedback loop between a research idea and live PnL couldn’t be shorter. We’re growing fast, and we’re looking for a Quantitative Researcher with a strong machine learning toolkit to help us push that edge further. The role As a Quantitative Researcher on our trading floor, you’ll own ideas end-to-end from hypothesis and dataset construction through feature engineering, model training and backtesting, all the way to live deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement.
