True Alpha is a privately held Australian company developing high-frequency and market-making trading strategies for various markets. 

Some of the trading strategies that we are hoping you can assist us with: 
- Cross platform stat arb in cryptocurrency. Same or similar trading instruments on crypto exchanged are sometimes traded with a different price. We can discover these inefficiencies and place trades to profit from this price mismatch. 
- BTC market making. Our task here is to provide liquidity in the BTC derivative market. We want to be in the market at all times and optimize for our working inventory. The key challenge is to how one can control the size of our spread so that we minimize our directional market exposure. This strategy works on a timescale of 5 minutes dinamically adjusting the size of the spread inside this interval. 

We are using AWS stack for development. The programming language is either of the Python, C# or C++.
