About the job
MANDATORY: You must be a Turkish national or currently residing in Turkey. No exceptions.
Title: Market Structure Strategist (Order Book Physics)
Location: Istanbul, Turkey (On-site sprint starting August)
Compensation: Austerity Fiat Baseline + Phase II Profit Yield (Revenue Share)
The Mandate:
WEAXESS is an institutional crypto securities exchange. Your mandate is the mathematical physics of the exchange. You will define the limit order book mechanics, tick sizes, spread constraints, rate limits, and latency arbitrage defense mechanisms. You will ensure that toxic flow from high-frequency market makers does not destroy the retail liquidity pool. You are the architect of fairness and velocity.
The Filter:
If you are a "crypto trader" who looks at chart patterns, do not apply.
If you are a "DeFi Tokenomics" designer, do not apply.
You must have a background in proprietary trading, hedge funds, or traditional market microstructure. You understand LOB dynamics, queue position, and adverse selection natively.
The Reality:
70-day physical sprint in Istanbul starting in August. You will operate under an austerity fiat baseline. Your real payout is an uncapped yield of the exchange's net profit pool once live.
Application Tripwire (Answer in 3 sentences max in your cover letter):
A high-frequency firm is repeatedly pinging the top of the book with 1-share orders, sniffing for hidden institutional liquidity, then canceling within 50 microseconds. Describe the exact market structure mechanism or fee penalty you implement to stop this without harming legitimate retail market-makers.
