Core Responsibilities:

• Technical Research Cash Segment: Generate positional and intraday calls across indices and stocks using price action, volume analysis, market breadth, and pattern recognition (Dow theory, Fibonacci, volume profile, classical chart patterns).
• Derivatives Strategy Design: Build and refine directional, spread, hedging, and volatility-based F&O strategies balancing buying (momentum/scalping) with selling (theta decay/range-bound income) across Nifty, BankNifty, FinNifty, and Sensex.
• Derivative Intelligence: Interpret OI build-up, PCR, rollovers, IV/IV skew, option chain, and Max Pain to sharpen positioning calls and underlying model logic.
• Risk Architecture: Define position sizing, stop-loss logic, and Greeks-based hedging (\Delta , \Gamma , \Vega\Vega \Vega) with disciplined, defined risk-reward frameworks across every setup.
• Systematic Frameworks & Validation: Codify entry, exit, and adjustment rules into repeatable, backtestable logic — stress-tested against volatility spikes and black-swan events using historical data.
• Research at Scale: Partner with product, content, and engineering to translate technical research into platform features — screeners, alerts, dashboards, and automated signals — and present views via reports, videos, and live sessions to a large retail and active-trader base.

Who You Are:

• The Logic-First Thinker: You don't just see a \"Head and Shoulders\"; you see a repeatable, systematizable set of conditions. Patterns are rules, not art.
• Data-Driven: You trust backtesting and probability over gut feel or market noise. Every call has a baseline and a measurable outcome.
• Cash + Derivatives Fluent: Equally at home reading equity price action and the non-linear risk of options — you know exactly when to pivot from a long-volatility play to a range-bound income strategy.
• Proven Performer: You carry a documented track record in the Indian markets across both cash and derivatives, with a hit-rate or performance trail you can stand behind.
• Communicator at Scale: You can simplify a complex setup for a retail audience without diluting the rigor behind it.

Requirements:

• Experience: 10+ years in technical analysis or quantitative strategy design across the cash equity and derivatives segments.
• Analytical Mastery: Deep expertise in price action, volume analysis, market structure, and the mathematical relationship between the Greeks.
• Strategic Breadth: Ability to design logic for intraday scalping through multi-day positional strategies, in both cash and F&O.
• Tooling: Hands-on with charting and backtesting platforms (TradingView, Amibroker, MetaStock, or equivalent); Python/Excel for backtesting a strong plus.
• Certification: NISM Series-XV (Research Analyst) mandatory for public-facing calls; SEBI RA registration eligibility preferred.
• Education: Background in Finance, Mathematics, Economics, or CFA/CMT certification (preferred).
