Autumn Compass is a proprietary trading firm founded in 2015 that develops algorithms to provide liquidity on financial markets across the Asia-Pacific region. The company operates from offices in Sydney and Singapore, maintaining a small multinational team entirely focused on in-house development and operations. Rather than serving external clients, Autumn Compass trades using its own capital and proprietary strategies.
The firm combines software engineering, computer science, and economic theory to build automated trading strategies and algorithms. Its operations span diverse liquidity platforms and technologies, with a dedicated cryptocurrency trading division that prompted expansion to Singapore in 2024. The company's structure enables engineers to see the impact of their work measured in days rather than months.
Autumn Compass maintains a flat organisational structure with flexible working arrangements and a collaborative approach. The entire team operates on in-house infrastructure, giving technologists direct visibility into how their contributions affect trading performance and market operations across the region.
