Sixteen01 Capital is a BVI-licensed asset manager specializing in delta-neutral arbitrage strategies focused on cryptocurrency assets. Catering exclusively to qualified investors, including ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) and institutions in select jurisdictions, Sixteen01 Capital offers a secure and innovative approach to digital asset management. Investors retain full custody of their assets at all times, while granting Sixteen01 Capital a managed account mandate to execute carefully selected crypto arbitrage opportunities.
Role:
Sixteen01 Capital is seeking an experienced digital asset trader with a proven track record of success and profitability in arbitrage trading. The ideal candidate is a strategic, forward-thinking professional with a deep understanding of both traditional finance and digital assets. They should have hands-on experience in one or more of the following areas: statistical arbitrage, market making, and options/volatility trading — combined with the ability to design, implement, and actively trade profitable, data-driven strategies from concept to execution.
We are looking for an independent thinker who thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments, demonstrates a strong passion for trading, cryptocurrencies, and alternative assets, and consistently seeks out market inefficiencies to exploit. In this role, the trader will play a central role in shaping and executing the firm’s trading strategies, working closely with the CEO and other traders to identify, backtest, and deploy innovative arbitrage opportunities that align with the firm’s long-term vision.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a pioneering asset management firm operating at the forefront of digital asset innovation. The position offers flexibility: it can be full-time or part-time, and the successful candidate may choose to work on-site (Cape Town, Zug or Paris) or remotely.
Qualifications:
* Education: Technical university honours degree required, with a master’s qualification preferred.
* Professional: CFA Charterholder (or in the process of obtaining) strongly preferred.
* Background: References and background checks are essential for this role.
Skills:
* Technical Skills: Highly quantitative and skilled in identifying and executing strategic arbitrage opportunities. Proficient in backtesting and optimising digital asset strategies.
* Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly and persuasively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
* Interpersonal Skills: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build and nurture relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, including institutional investors and team members.
* Work Ethic and Integrity: A strong work ethic, unwavering integrity, and a commitment to excellence are essential.
* Passion: Genuine enthusiasm for trading, digital assets, and the alternative asset universe.
This is a flexible opportunity tailored for the right candidate to thrive in a dynamic and innovative environment, contributing to the future of digital asset investment strategies.
