The employer is interested in a candidate with Python, SQL, Java or C++ programming experience, experience in the traditional financial system and the crypto industry. The applicant is required to have outstanding problem-solving skills and mathematical ability.

Virtu is looking for a “reliable, trustworthy, highly motivated and disciplined individual,” according to the job posting.

Not only exchange companies, but also insurance companies are beginning to consider the possibility of investing in cryptocurrencies. In June, the American banking giant Goldman Sachs conducted a survey among global insurance companies and it turned out that 6% of them have already invested or want to invest in cryptocurrencies.
