Python Programmer - Backend Data & Automation

About Us

Started in mid 2017, Consilium Crypto is a leading company in quantitative data & analytics for digital assets. We are a Big Data company that collects billions of relevant data points from a variety of sources around the globe, distilling them into trading tools and analytics feeds. Our clients are typically from the financial services industry and include hedge funds, institutional investors, and exchanges. Consilium Crypto uses the latest machine learning approaches across a variety of structured and unstructured datasets with the goal of helping market participants analyze and trade digital assets efficiently.

The Products

Given the lack of institutional-grade data & analytics for digital assets, there is a void in the space that our products aim to fill. This problem is further compounded by the fact that digital asset markets are very fragmented, both in terms of information asymmetry and liquidity. Consilium Crypto has developed information pipelines and automation tools to capture and analyze granular market data for over 90% of all the trading volume in the world, in addition to numerous other splintered data sources. Our platform provides a 360-degree view of digital asset markets and investor activity for almost every tradable digital asset on Earth. We pass this value on to our clients in the form of analytics feeds, trading tools, and managed services.
