BitMEX | San Francisco | Onsite |Full-time| Kuberentes, Node, Mobile BitMEX is a cryptocurrency P2P trading platform offering unrivaled liquidity, security, and career opportunities. Our platform was developed by ex-bankers who were (and are) well-versed in computer science, financial engineering, and traditional finance. BitMEX launched in 2014 and subsequently has grown to become one of the most important marketplaces in the crypto space. n a pulldown menu of “What industry are you in?” it is certainly fair to label BitMEX a fintech company. But we feel like the word “fintech” doesn’t do justice to the uniqueness or grandeur of what we’re building. Our ambition is to be the pre-eminent futures market for the major crypto-coins (including new ones, as they arrive on the scene), and BitMEX is already is one of the most significant price discovery mechanisms for Bitcoin, which is the most established digital currency so far. And since Bitcoin may yet turn out to be a civilisation-saving monetary instrument — mankind’s ultimate store of value — history may come to reveal that BitMEX’s trading platform played a crucial role in saving the world. Or, it might just unfold that Bitcoin is a helluva lot of fun for awhile, before petering out or blowing up for some unforeseen reason. Both scenarios are logically imaginable (to use the phrase, from another context, of Hungarian philosopher Tibor Machan). One way or another, Bitcoin is the defining technology of our current era. And if you work at BitMEX, you will have been part of Bitcoin in the most essential and extreme possible way.
