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.

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and make quick, informed decisions
