About Tokka Labs
Tokka Labs is a proprietary trading firm emphasizing strong collaboration, thorough research, and advanced technological solutions. We specialize as market makers and problem solvers within the leading blockchain protocols worldwide. Our team builds and manages custom trading systems and strategies aimed at providing liquidity across diverse, challenging markets in decentralized finance.
Role Overview
We seek a highly skilled institutional trader experienced in Emerging Markets ETFs, Delta One products, or intricate basket trading to lead execution and strategic initiatives for our growing Real World Asset (RWA) and derivatives trading desks. This role requires applying expertise typically used for pricing, hedging, and trading fragmented emerging market assets to the evolving on-chain RWA environment. Candidates proficient in managing illiquid markets, complex foreign exchange risks, and linear derivatives are encouraged to join us as we expand our futures, delta one, and RWA trading operations.
Responsibilities
- Create, implement, and oversee proprietary trading, arbitrage, and market-making strategies focused on tokenized RWAs, delta one instruments, and crypto futures.
- Engage in active trading and position management for futures and delta one products, optimizing aspects such as basis risk, funding costs, and rolling strategies.
- Coordinate liquidity provision and execution of arbitrage opportunities across fragmented marketplaces, integrating decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with centralized exchanges (CeFi).
- Proactively manage diverse risk factors, including volatile underlying asset prices, complex FX exposure relevant to emerging market assets, basis discrepancies, and risks related to protocol stability.
- Work closely with quantitative research teams to enhance pricing models for basket assets and collaborate with smart contract developers to improve on-chain execution and capital efficiency.
- Act as the internal expert on market mechanics related to creation/redemption processes, aiding the optimization of asset wrappers and tokenized structures to enhance secondary market liquidity.
Requirements
- Minimum of five years' institutional trading experience involving Emerging Markets ETFs, Delta One products, or structured basket trading desks.
- Advanced technical skills in pricing complex basket portfolios, managing cross-currency FX risks, and navigating highly fragmented and illiquid order books.
- Deep understanding of delta one instruments, linear derivatives, and futures market microstructure, including basis trading, curve dynamics, and hedging strategies.
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, or R for tasks such as data analysis, strategic prototyping, and reviewing trade performance.
- Ability to excel in a dynamic, fast-moving, and team-oriented environment operating around the clock, demonstrating both analytical rigor and entrepreneurial drive needed to thrive in emerging asset classes.
