Company Profile

We are a highly agile, AI-first quantitative trading firm built on the belief that speed, domain expertise, and creative research edge can outperform legacy players.

  • We trade US equity and options markets, focusing on alpha discovery, short-term inefficiencies, and intelligent automation.

  • Our infrastructure is powered by a custom-built C++ backtesting engine, with AI-driven multi-agent systems that work 24/7 to generate and refine strategies.

  • With a strong track record of consistent profitability and rapid innovation, we operate at the intersection of quant research, machine learning, and high-performance computing.

  • We value autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and measurable impact. If you're obsessed with options and love finding edge in noisy markets, we want to hear from you.

Job Description

We’re looking for a highly analytical and driven Options Researcher to join our fast-growing quant trading firm. Your primary responsibility will be to research, prototype, and validate systematic options trading strategies — across intraday, swing, and 0DTE horizons. You’ll work closely with our core team to convert data into edge, and edge into alpha.

This is a hands-on, research-heavy role suited for someone passionate about market microstructure, volatility modeling, and options-based strategy development. You’ll be empowered to test hypotheses quickly, use real-world trade logs to refine strategies, and build robust statistical frameworks to evaluate performance.

* Responsibilities

  • Design, research, and backtest quantitative options strategies (including volatility arbitrage, relative value, spread-based, and directional setups).

  • Work with raw historical and real-time data (e.g., option chains, implied volatility, Greeks, open interest).

  • Identify edge through data exploration, hypothesis testing, and statistical modeling.

  • Build and validate predictive features using options and underlying market data.

  • Collaborate with execution and data engineering teams to translate research into production-ready models.

  • Monitor live strategies, analyze performance, and iterate for robustness.

  • Develop tooling for strategy simulation, risk evaluation, and capital optimization.

* Requirements

  • Solid background in statistics, financial engineering, mathematics, or computer science.

  • Experience with systematic options trading — directional or non-directional (vol/IV, spreads, 0DTE, etc.).

  • Strong coding skills (Python required; C++/Rust a plus).

  • Familiarity with options data structure (IV surface, Greeks, OI, etc.) and volatility modeling (e.g., GARCH, SABR, local vol).

  • Prior experience using backtesting frameworks or developing custom ones.

  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, research-oriented environment with a focus on execution.

  • Bonus: exposure to machine learning methods for options signal generation.
