Develop tools to analyze positional opportunities, evaluate risk, and improve options liquidity.

Collaborate with technologists, quants, and traders to systematize models and trading strategies.

Ensure risk management by monitoring and managing positions within risk limits.

3–7+ years of experience trading single-stock options, index options, or ETF options, ideally in a market-making setting.

A strong track record of generating PnL, managing risk, and executing strategies in fast-moving markets.

Deep understanding of options pricing, volatility dynamics, and market microstructure.
