Trading Operations Lead

The role

Gauntlet is looking for a Trading Operations Lead based in APAC to help oversee our vaults and trading strategies during Asian market hours.

You'll work closely with our strategy and curation teams, monitoring live strategies, investigating alerts, and responding when markets move or something isn't behaving as expected. We already operate a 24/7 on-call rotation, and this hire will help us build out more consistent coverage across timezones, with someone based in APAC who can take ownership when issues arise.

The workload is varied, with a primary focus on ensuring our vaults and trading strategies operate safely and effectively during APAC hours. You'll be responsible for monitoring live strategies, responding to incidents, and supporting new vault and strategy launches, particularly during periods of increased market activity.

Alongside your operational responsibilities, you'll also work closely with our Product and Business Development teams, acting as a technical point of contact for partners across Asia. This includes explaining how our vaults and strategies work, understanding partner requirements, and helping explore opportunities for strategy expansion. With a growing proportion of our business coming from APAC, we're looking for someone who can comfortably have these conversations in both Mandarin and English.

This isn't a traditional engineering or quantitative research role. We're looking for someone with practical experience in live markets who understands how trading strategies operate, follows market developments closely, and knows how to respond when something goes wrong, and can partner and collaborate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders.
