Flow Traders is looking for a Research Analyst to join our growing Digital Assets team in Amsterdam.

We’re seeking a highly motivated and organized individual with a strong passion for the digital asset ecosystem - from DeFi and infrastructure to emerging blockchain trends. This is a unique opportunity to join a leading proprietary trading firm with an entrepreneurial and innovative culture at the heart of its business. We value quick-witted, creative minds and challenge them to make full use of their capacities.

What You Will Do

  • Conduct deep-dive research into DeFi protocols, new key trends in the market with a particular focus on infrastructure projects (L1s/L2s, staking platforms, bridges, middleware), and validator economics
  • Identify early-stage trends and alpha-generating opportunities across public and private markets
  • Collaborate closely with traders to flag market inefficiencies, arbitrage setups, and potential partnerships
  • Support the validator business with research on staking economics, slashing risks, delegation flows, and protocol incentives
  • Identify and present strategic venture capital investment opportunities emerging
  • Build and maintain dashboards using on-chain and off-chain data (e.g., Dune, Nansen, Token Terminal)
  • Work with BD to translate insights into actionable strategies, decks, and partner materials
  • Contribute to external-facing content, including market commentary, protocol breakdowns, and quarterly ecosystem outlooks
  • Monitor regulatory, macro, and technological developments impacting the digital asset landscape

What You Need to Succeed

  • 2–4 years of experience in crypto research, investment analysis, or a trading firm
  • Deep familiarity with DeFi mechanics, tokenomics, and L1/L2 infrastructure
  • Hands-on experience with on-chain data tools (e.g., Dune, Nansen) and basic data analysis (e.g., SQL, Python)
  • Strong written communication skills and the ability to distill complex technical topics
  • Understanding of smart contract architecture (no need to audit, but can analyze mechanisms)
  • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to work cross-functionally between trading and BD & Venture team.

Flow Traders does not accept unsolicited resumes from any professional staffing or search firms. All resumes, and any other information identifying potential candidates, submitted to any employee at Flow Traders via-email, the Internet or directly without a valid and signed search agreement will be deemed free to contact by Flow Traders without any restrictions and no placement fee of any kind will be paid in the event the candidate is hired by Flow Traders.

What We Offer

  • Attractive Compensation

    Remuneration package comprised of a base salary and a discretionary variable component.
  • Continuous Learning & Development

    Dedicated academy with endless personal and functional development opportunities.
  • Exceptional Events & Social Activities

    Annual company trip, holiday parties, family and sports events. There is something for everyone!
  • Employee Foundation

    Volunteer programs for employees and charity support initiatives through the Flow Traders Foundation.
  • Global Rotations Opportunities

    Opportunities to work in different locations to support personal growth within the company and develop your career.
  • Great Global Locations

    Vibrant working environments, furnished with lounges, bars, gaming areas and offering lunches and coffee.
  • Wellness and Healthy Culture

    Active lifestyle promoted by offering sports, healthy food and wellbeing programs.

Flow Traders, named “ETF Market Marker Europe" by the Annual Global ETF Awards for the last eight consecutive years is an international leading trading house. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Amsterdam with offices in New York and Singapore, Flow Traders trades equities as well as derivatives, currencies and bonds on exchanges around the world.

Flow Traders is a privately held financial firm that keeps pace with global markets. Our business expands each day by adding new products across an ever-broadening range of markets around the globe.

Flow Traders stays ahead of the competition by focusing on technology and niche competencies in markets where every second counts. This requires access to the best information and the ability to respond instantly. To achieve this, Flow develops its own software in-house. Our team of software developers works in partnership with experienced traders to identify and execute tomorrow's strategies, making Flow a daily pioneer in professional trading.

Team effort
In order to maximize our performance and facilitate our international growth, Flow Traders heavily invest in our employees. The backbone of our success is the collection of creative doers, thinkers, and above all, believers who form our company. We at Flow believe in the team effort and value our people.

The Junior Trader Position
As a trader with Flow you manage and optimize our daily position (pricing and trading) in a wide range of financial products, including equities, bonds, derivatives and complex structured products. You formulate innovative trading strategies and – in close collaboration with our software engineers – develop trading models and tools that you will implement on the trading desk.

Training & Development
Because of the specific nature of the work-environment, we do not expect you to plunge headfirst into your new job. Instead, you will start by following in a three months intensive in-house training program that covers all the intricate details of the trading processes. As a member of an informal team, you will then gradually take on more responsibilities, start monitoring markets and only then start making split-second portfolio adjustments that are at the heart of our success. From trading to devising tactics, and from contributing to new tools to implementing actual programs: you help shape our trading strategy.

What we offer
Flow Traders offers you an exciting job and lots of opportunities within the most dynamic of environments with an excellent compensation package. We provide our employees with the best working environment, the latest technology and continuous support.
