[Hiring] Trading Operations Associate @Wormhole Labs

Role Description

As a Trading Operations Associate, you'll be responsible for the safe, accurate execution of fund movements, settlements, and treasury operations across our exchange accounts, wallets, and counterparties.

• Execute and verify fund transfers, settlements, and exchange account operations across CEXs and onchain wallets
• Manage wallet and multisig operations — signing, key custody, permissions, and transaction verification
• Reconcile balances, transfers, fees, and P&L using Excel/Sheets and Python-based tooling
• Independently sanity-check transaction details and flag inconsistencies or suspicious instructions before execution, regardless of who's requesting them
• Maintain and improve operational processes and security procedures for treasury and settlement workflows
• Operate methodically under time pressure on high-stakes, often irreversible transactions

Qualifications

• 3+ years of crypto financial operations experience — treasury or operations at a prop/market-making/trading firm, or an operational/finance role at a blockchain protocol
• Crypto-native with strong security judgment — deep familiarity with wallets, multisigs, hardware wallets, CEXs, block explorers, transaction verification, and signing procedures
• Advanced Excel/Sheets and working Python proficiency — comfortable manipulating transaction/balance data, automating repetitive operational work, and reconciling discrepancies
• Strong mental math — able to quickly sanity-check balances, exposures, transfer amounts, fees, and P&L without blindly relying on tooling
• Proven composure under pressure — able to execute high-stakes, irreversible financial operations accurately, stay methodical in time-sensitive situations, and hold the line on approval/security procedures even under pressure from seniority

Requirements

• Based in the US
