We are Pinely, a high-frequency algorithmic trading firm based in Amsterdam.

Our team specializes in developing robust and adaptive strategies applicable across a wide range of financial instruments and exchanges. We actively support the Olympiad movement, and many of our colleagues are prize-winning mathematicians, researchers and engineers.

Researchers at Pinely benefit from working in a fast-paced HFT environment, where the impact of their ideas is quickly visible in production. The research teams are supported by a world-class infrastructure group that ensures smooth deployment and reliable experimentation at scale.

Our flat organizational structure encourages autonomy, creativity, and direct ownership. We value an informal, idea-driven culture where innovation is celebrated and every contribution matters.
