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.
Gauntlet builds the financial systems of the future. While much of onchain finance is focused on point solutions, we operate across the entire stack to offer best-in-class vault products. Today we serve over $1.5B in client TVL across some of the largest fintechs/neobanks, protocols, exchanges, and capital allocators in crypto — and, increasingly, traditional asset management. Our team brings together traditional finance and crypto-native expertise to deliver durable, sophisticated products for institutional clients moving onchain.
First 30 days
You'll have developed a good understanding of Gauntlet's vaults, strategies, and operational processes. You'll have started shadowing the existing on-call rotation, become familiar with our monitoring tools and playbooks, and joined initial partner conversations with the Product and BD teams.
First 3–6 months
You'll be independently managing APAC-hours operations, handling incidents confidently, and knowing when to involve the wider team. You'll have helped improve runbooks and handovers between regions and will be comfortable leading technical discussions with partners.
Within 12 months
You'll have established yourself as the go-to person for trading operations in APAC, providing reliable coverage for our strategies and helping strengthen our global operating model. You'll also be a trusted technical resource for our regional partners and internal teams.
