About the Role

SCRYPT is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Trading & Middle Office Associate to join our Trading Desk. Based in Dubai, this position offers an exciting opportunity for career growth in the fast-paced world of crypto, with flexibility for remote work as well.

The Bar

Small team, senior bar, AI-native by default. We hire builders who ship, not managers who maintain. One great hire beats three average ones, so we hold the bar even when the seat is empty. Ownership from week one. Velocity from day one. If you need a long runway before you contribute, this isn't the role.

Key Responsabilities

• Provide quotes and execute trades for clients OTC
• Manage and monitor the OTC Trading Desk - fund inflows/outflows
• Ensure accurate, timely settlements (crypto + fiat payments)
• Resolve settlement issues and discrepancies with internal teams
• Support liquidity management across departments
• Act as product owner on new features and automation
• Grow upsell opportunities within existing client accounts
• Ensure trading practices comply with KYC/AML
• Maintain trading activity reports and client feedback logs
• Support management with key desk admin tasks

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or other related subjects
• 0-3 years of experience in a similar role within the institutional crypto industry; preferably in a trading or middle office related function
• Strong interest and knowledge of the crypto industry and financial markets
• Excellent numerical and analytical skills
• Advanced Excel capabilities, including pivot tables, lookups, and complex formulas
• Understanding of trading platforms, order types, and execution strategies is a plus
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills
• Eagerness to learn and work closely with senior team members in trading activities
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and make quick, informed decisions
• Entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm to work in a start-up environment
• Fluency in English; any additional languages are an advantage

Why Choose SCRYPT

• Real ownership of a function - not a slot in someone else’s org chart
• A team where AI tooling is native, not a “transformation initiative”
• Direct access to founders, board, and clients. Flat hierarchy, no middle layers
• Meaningful equity in a Series A institutional crypto company building toward unicorn scale
• Swiss-anchored, globally operating - regulatory rigor where it matters, volume where it counts
