A bit about us:



We are a proprietary trading firm that specializes in electronic option market making strategies. We pride ourselves on data-driven decision-making and our innovative problem-solving framework, which enables us to solve complex problems posed by efficient markets. Our vision is to scale and automate our strategies with our team of traders, developers, and data scientists.

Why join us?



We foster a highly collaborative and team-oriented culture. Our traders, developers, and operations personnel work together directly, avoiding silos or departmental separations that can lead to lower quality outcomes.

  • Being an excellent steward of risk and capable of providing liquidity in any market condition
  • Making data-driven decisions and confidently standing by your actions
  • Proactively and effectively communicating any deviation from expected value

  • Learning and executing trading methodologies and gradually increasing responsibilities from shadowing to parameter tuning to placing trades

Requirements:
We are seeking candidates who possess the following qualifications:
  • 2-5 years of experience as an experienced trader with a proven track record of success
  • BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Math, Physics, or related field
  • Exceptional attention to detail
