Trading Analyst in Los Angeles

Join the Trading team in Los Angeles, where you will help run pricing and risk across crypto, stocks, indices, forex, commodities and pre-IPO on one platform. CoinUnited has been building since 2018 and our markets never close. This in-office role supports daily pricing and risk monitoring across asset classes as the market moves around the clock.

This role is based in our Los Angeles office. Pacific Time puts the desk three hours behind the New York close, so the day here runs past the US session and into the Asian open, which on a platform that never shuts is a useful shift to be awake for. Los Angeles is an engineering site, and the work is the platform rather than the trading floor.
