Making Digital Markets Liquid
Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Hong Kong, Auros operates as a global algorithmic trading and market-making firm specializing in digital assets. The company runs 24/7/365 across centralized and decentralized exchanges, handling roughly 4% of global crypto trading volume with peak daily volumes reaching $18 billion. Operating across over 40 trading venues, Auros has evolved from pure high-frequency trading into a comprehensive liquidity engine that serves token projects, exchanges, and institutions. The team of 150+ professionals spans five continents, maintaining round-the-clock market presence. Rather than just moving numbers, you'd be building the infrastructure that keeps crypto markets liquid and efficient.
Products
The core business splits into three divisions: Proprietary Trading uses algorithmic strategies for market-making across hundreds of currencies; Liquidity Solutions provides end-to-end support from venture funding and engineering to token launches and institutional expansion; OTC Solutions delivers bespoke trading and structured products for institutions. Auros serves as cornerstone liquidity provider for major DeFi protocols like Pyth, Jupiter, and Drift, maintaining contractual KPIs for 24/7 market presence.
Funding
Auros raised $17 million in March 2023, led by high-frequency trading firm Vivienne Court Trading and bitcoin miner Bit Digital. Other participants included Trovio, Primal Capital, and former Optiver traders. This funding came after navigating debt restructuring following the FTX collapse, positioning the firm to expand derivatives solutions and HFT arbitrage strategies. The company also launched Auros Ventures with $50 million of its own capital to invest in early-stage Web3 projects.
Recent news
In May 2026, Auros and fellow market maker Wintermute collectively withdrew nearly $100 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum liquidity from the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, a move reportedly driven by mounting regulatory pressures.
Technology
C++ and Python form the core, with some C# and Go for specific systems. Everything runs on Linux with heavy focus on low-latency, distributed architecture. Network programming spans UDP, TCP, TLS, and WebSockets, while inter-process messaging uses shared memory for performance. Profiling relies on Cachegrind and Valgrind for optimization. Infrastructure runs on AWS and Azure with modern DevOps tooling including Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Prometheus, and Grafana for 24/7 monitoring. The stack prioritizes performance and reliability over convenience.
Benefits
Fully remote work with flexibility on location, as long as you can align with relevant time zones. The culture emphasizes 'high challenge, low ego' with significant autonomy from day one - you'll oversee projects end-to-end and deploy code rapidly without bureaucratic layers. Flat organizational structure gives direct access to leadership and top-tier trading talent. Competitive compensation includes relocation support, and the global team connects through regular offsite events. Expect to be on-call for systems you develop, but the work balances high-stakes trading with collaborative brainstorming and team banter.
