Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Loop is a New York–based company building a digital asset function and hiring the operational core of its trading desk. The Trading Operations Analyst will monitor Hyperliquid markets, manage desk tooling and API integrations, coordinate collateral and margin, analyze execution and funding, and improve processes following volatile trading sessions.
Responsibilities
- Monitor Hyperliquid markets daily: funding rates, open interest, order book depth, liquidity conditions, liquidation flows
- Track how liquidity behaves in stress and flag deteriorating conditions before they become incidents
- Own the desk's operational setup: trade-only API keys, sub-accounts, rate limits, alerting and monitoring
- Work with our API integrations (REST/WebSocket) — build and maintain the monitoring and automation the desk relies on
- Coordinate collateral and margin allocation across accounts
- Run post-mortems after volatile sessions — liquidation cascades, ADL events, oracle anomalies — and turn them into concrete process fixes
- Track execution quality, funding spend, and fee-tier efficiency
- Stay ahead of platform and ecosystem changes that affect the desk: HIP upgrades, new market listings, HyperEVM integrations
Skills
- - Hands-on experience trading on Hyperliquid — this is a hard requirement. You know the platform because you use it: funding mechanics, margin, liquidations, ADL
- - Strong understanding of liquidity: order book depth, slippage, market impact, and how each behaves under stress
- - Calm and precise during volatility; clear written communication — incident reports and post-mortems are part of the job
- - Authorized to work in the United States; comfortable in a fully remote setup
- - 3+ years in trading, trading operations, or trading support (crypto strongly preferred)
- - Working API literacy (REST/WebSocket); basic scripting (Python or similar) for monitoring and automation is a strong plus
- - Experience across the wider Hyperliquid ecosystem: staking HYPE, HLP, HyperEVM DeFi (Kinetiq/kHYPE, HyperLend, Felix), HIP-3 builder markets
- - Background at an exchange, market maker, or proprietary trading desk
Benefits
- Performance bonus.
- Employer-funded health insurance: medical, dental, and vision.
- 401(k) with company matching.
- Fully remote within the United States — no relocation or office requirement.
- Annual budget for training, certifications, and conferences.
