Don’t worry, we don’t kick anyone into pits.
But we do build the operating system modern oil trading runs on and will keep running on: conviction in every trade, for every desk that moves the market.
In February 2025, we raised $42 million in Series B funding to take that vision global. Now we’re scaling fast across products, regions, and teams.
We’re a high-growth company. Which is another way of saying: things move fast, change often, and get better every time. Some days you’re steering. Some days you’re building the road. Either way, you’re not doing it alone.
If that sounds like your kind of place, come build with us.
Understanding is non-negotiable
Understanding leads to believing. Believing leads to winning.
The ‘why’ is the difference between compliance and conviction. Before we execute, we ask: why does this matter, who does it serve, what changes if we win? People who understand the mission don’t need to be managed.
Ask for forgiveness, not for permission.
Most decisions are reversible. Most fears are not.
90% of decisions are reversible. Make them, ship, iterate. Perfection is the enemy of efficiency. Bias for action means moving before you have all the answers, but it isn’t recklessness. The rule: tell the rest of us what you did, what changed, what you learned.
Fall in love with the problem
The mission wins. Your idea doesn’t have to.
Solutions flatter our ego. They feel like progress. But solutions without problems are opinions, and opinions don’t move customers, markets, or teammates. The goal is to find what’s true, not to win the room. If your idea gets killed because a better one shows up, that’s the system working.
It's your fault. Lucky you.
If it’s on you, it’s in your control.
True ownership sounds harsh until you feel how liberating it is. If every problem is yours, you stop spending energy on who to blame and start spending it on how to fix it. Effective leaders default to ‘it’s on me’. Not out of guilt, but out of agency.
Conflict is a gift.
Honesty is an expression of care.
Withholding feedback is choosing comfort over growth, yours and your colleague’s. Staying silent deprives others of the chance to learn. We challenge openly and with positive intent. Done with care, this builds trust. Done with ego, it destroys it.
But if it is for you, you’ll love it here.
We give you the support and the structure so you can make decisions that move things forward. If you’d rather wait to be told what to do, this won’t be your place.
We’re building. That means testing, pivoting, and iterating until we get it right. It’s messy, but that’s how real innovation happens.
This isn’t that. You’ll be building something that actually matters, reshaping how an entire industry works. That takes curiosity, ownership, and the willingness to care.
We’re not that, either. No layers of sign-off, no hiding behind process.
You’ll get more freedom and more accountability than you’re probably used to.
We’re not. You’ll work with people who treat attention to detail, execution, and follow-through like it’s a competitive sport.

Join Sparta if you want responsibility early and exposure to real decisions. Performance is recognised here, and your work is visible. There's always something to build or improve — which makes the role both demanding and rewarding.
Paul
Head of Sales, Singapore
In big organisations, you often feel like just one small part of a much larger machine. At Sparta, you're encouraged to take initiative and have the freedom to experiment. There's a strong sense that your contribution genuinely shapes where we go.
June
Senior Oil Analyst, Singapore
Having the opportunity to shape your role as you go gives you strong ownership of both it and the business. I find that very encouraging — you play a very big role in building the success of Sparta.

Working globally, collaborating with colleagues from different backgrounds, along with honesty and transparency create an environment where everyone’s efforts drive us towards shared goals. The remote setup has its perks, but those chances we get to meet in-person really fosters an amazing team camaraderie.
Gordon
Tech Lead (Labs), UK
Sparta is full of people who take ownership and like to get things done. What I enjoy most is working alongside both expert commodity analysts and experienced technologists in the same room. It's a rare combination, and it's why I'm thrilled to be a part of Sparta as AI reshapes commodities trading.
