The Role

You will work closely with traders, researchers, and engineers to:

  • Build predictive models across volatility surfaces and derivatives flows
  • Design, backtest, and deploy systematic options strategies

  • Demonstrable track record of alpha generation in equity options
  • Strong Python skills (Num Py, Pandas) and production-level development experience
  • Deep understanding of options pricing, volatility surfaces, and risk frameworks
  • Ability to bridge academic rigour with commercial trading outcomes
Why Consider This?
  • Established proprietary trading platform with long-term capital base
  • Deep integration between Research, Trading, and Technology
  • Strong upside through discretionary bonus

$200,000 – $300,000 base + discretionary bonus (For NY candidates.)
