About Group One Trading:

Group One Trading is a leading specialist and market maker in the US equity options landscape, operating across all major exchanges including CBOE, NYSE, NASDAQ, MIAX, and BOX. Established over three decades ago, we have evolved into one of the largest privately owned options trading firms in the country. Our presence spans key financial hubs, and our traders excel in providing competitive liquidity by managing extensive portfolios and delivering quotes across multiple platforms.

At Group One, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse workplace and proudly uphold our commitment as an equal opportunity employer. We value transparency and collaboration, encouraging contributions from individuals with varied backgrounds and perspectives. Our goal is to cultivate an environment where every employee can actively participate in the firm's success.

We are currently seeking enthusiastic candidates for our internship program, particularly those who thrive in high-pressure settings. While familiarity with the options market is beneficial, we welcome students from diverse academic disciplines, especially in mathematics, economics, physics, engineering, or computer science. Ideal candidates will be comfortable in a trading atmosphere and possess strong communication, analytical, problem-solving, and time management skills. This internship offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of equity options trading and an overview of our operations. Successful interns may qualify for a subsequent Trading Analyst position.

  • Maintain awareness of market conditions and adapt quickly to changing environments.
  • Proactively support traders by efficiently managing tasks and anticipating their needs.
  • Communicate effectively across various teams, ensuring timely reporting of relevant information.
