Wormhole Labs builds Sunrise, a platform that helps token issuers launch and list their tokens on Solana. We provide onboarding, liquidity provisioning, and integrations with leading Solana apps to ensure smooth and successful onchain launches.
As a Trader, you'll be responsible for deploying and managing capital across a range of strategies on centralized and decentralized venues.
What You Will Do
Execute and manage trading strategies across centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) venues, including AMM pools, concentrated liquidity positions, and order books.
Monitor positions, inventory levels, and P&L in real time; proactively flag risks and execute adjustments to.
Maintain and improve internal trading operations tooling: position trackers, reporting dashboards, hedging workflows, and reconciliation processes.
Stay current on DeFi market structure, protocol mechanics (AMMs, PMMs, lending protocols), and regulatory developments relevant to defi.
Requirements
2–5 years of experience in crypto trading, market-making, or liquidity provisioning — at a trading firm, market maker, or DeFi-native operation.
Solid understanding of AMM mechanics (Uniswap v3/v4, Orca, etc.), order book dynamics, and how liquidity depth affects price impact and slippage.
Strong quantitative and analytical skills; proficiency in Python or similar for data analysis and position monitoring is a plus.
Rigorous approach to risk management — you track exposure, hedge thoughtfully, and escalate early when market conditions shift.
Excellent communication skills; able to represent the team in external counterparty conversations with professionalism and precision.
Self-directed and adaptable — comfortable operating with autonomy across time zones in a remote-first environment.
Nice to Have
Prior experience at a DeFi protocol, crypto market maker, or liquidity-as-a-service provider.
Familiarity with Solana ecosystem tooling (Jupiter, Orca, Drift) and EVM DeFi (Uniswap, Aave, Curve).
Machine learning (e.g. ridge/lasso regression, tree-based regressors, classification) and large data analysis background
Hands-on experience with token launch mechanics — launchpad structures, cliff/vesting schedules, listing coordination across CEX and DEX venues.
We Provide
Competitive salary and restricted token units, dependent on position type and location.
Discretionary bonus dependent on company performance and individual impact.
Unlimited time off, healthcare, and 401K (for US employees).
Flexibility of working from wherever you have work authorization, as long as you are available ~10-6PM US Eastern Time. We minimize unnecessary meetings, but building decentralized systems requires synchronous communication.
Note: We will only respond to applications that meet our requirements. If you don't get a response, please assume a polite decline.
