AsiaPac IT Development Team Leader- Trading Strategies

We are Auros!

We are a high-frequency trading firm operating 24/7/365 in the global cryptocurrency market, with offices in New York and Hong Kong. The team consists of world-class talent and spans 5 continents. We are one of the largest participants in the market, trading a significant share of market turnover. Our team is always iterating to ensure we stay ahead of the curve.

What you’ll do:

We are looking for someone to guide our team of high-calibre senior developers, operating in the fast lane of digital asset trading. Your mission: unleash their full potential, align engineering excellence with trading outcomes, and ensure we deliver results with speed, precision, and purpose. In particular, you will:

• Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of senior developers working on high-performance trading systems.
• Keep the team focused and unblocked -whether through smart prioritisation or tactical firefighting. 
• Transform trading opportunities into profits. That is, improve and invent trading and market-making strategies while minding risk and any market-making obligations. You will oversee the entire process, including problem identification, analysing data, writing software, and providing ongoing support.
• Improve and develop systems for automated monitoring of 24/7/365 trading.
• Work with both existing codebases and new ones.
• Collaborate closely with others. The business, development, and trading teams regularly work in concert with each other.
• Monitor trading, especially of new algorithms, and ensure that our systems are performing as desired from a technical, risk, and profit perspective.
• Use your experience working directly with trading teams to identify and surface opportunities to improve Auros’s technical systems and architecture.
• Engage with the team during system design discussions, code reviews, trading idea brainstorms, and general banter.

Requirements:

• Experience developing high-performance trading strategies and especially market-making in traditional or cryptocurrency markets.
• Proven track record managing high-performing engineering teams.
• Ability to bridge strategy and execution - you know when to dive deep and when to delegate
• Experience with low latency trading algorithms, market making and/or high frequency arbitrage, including an understanding of risks associated with managing a portfolio.
• At least three years of experience in developing clean, maintainable, and performant code in C++ on Linux.
• Experience with latency-optimised, distributed systems that are built to robustly handle many transactions.
• Ability to find a balance between delivering clean, testable, reliable code and rapidly deploying new system features to take advantage of market opportunities.
• You are reliable, take pride in delivering robust software, and are willing to be on call to support the systems you develop.
• You're a calm clear communicator with an ability to galvanise the team around a common purpose.

Highly Desirable:

• A thorough understanding of network programming, namely UDP, TCP, TLS, and Websockets.
• Experience profiling C++ code with any of Cachegrind, Valgrind or other profiling tools.
• Experience in configuring and monitoring Linux machines.
• Experience with inter-process messaging via shared memory.
• Experience with cloud computing infrastructure such as AWS.

Why Auros?

• We're remote-friendly, async-forward, and radically transparent.
• You’ll work with brilliant, motivated people who actually love what they do.
• Real ownership, real impact — zero corporate nonsense.
• Competitive comp, crypto upside, and perks designed for humans.
