Our teams

Engineering

Highly skilled engineers who work on our software.

The software engineers at BlockTech focus on the performance and reliability of our trading system that runs 24/7.

They continuously add new features which make our automated trading system smarter and improve our analytic tools to get a better understanding of how we are performing.

The team works with the latest technologies to ensure we stay ahead of the competition.

Quantitative Analysts

Elite mathematicians that work on our models.

The quants at BlockTech focus on the mathematics behind our trading system.

They develop and improve our pricing models, create better insights by building analytic tools and fix bugs.

The team has a great balance between theoretical knowledge and curiosity on one hand, and practical experience on the other hand.

Infrastructure

Command-line wizzards that work on our architecture.

The infrastructure engineers build the network and middleware infrastructure to support the other teams in building performant and stable software.

This support spans from the remote servers where our software is running, to the desktops and laptops of the individual programmers.

They actively manage the firewalls, databases, physical servers, virtual machines, containers, CI/CD and monitoring.

Trading

Next-level number crunchers.

Traders at BlockTech supervise the automatic trading system and perform OTC trades.

In addition, they analyze the company's profit and loss, monitor the margin positions and track the performance of our trades.

Based on the results of this analysis, new requirements are designed for the quants and engineers to finetune the trading system.
