Job description

Quantitative Trader – Indian Options (Amsterdam)

Our client is a global quantitative trading firm that is looking to hire a semi-systematic Quant Trader to join their team in Amsterdam.

The role is focused on Indian options markets, with a strong emphasis on trading and market making. This is suited to someone who wants to be close to the markets, develop a deep understanding of trading dynamics and have a direct impact on trading decisions.

The Role

You will be working within a market-making environment focused on Indian options across NSE and BSE.

The trading approach of this team is semi-systematic rather than traditional ultra-low-latency HFT. You will be expected to understand the market end-to-end, identify and evaluate trading opportunities, use quantitative research to inform your views, and ultimately make trading calls.

This is not a pure execution role. The successful candidate will have significant ownership over their trading decisions and the research that supports them.

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of experience in Quant Trading from a reputable trading firm, although exceptional candidates with 2+ years may be considered
• Strong experience trading or researching Indian options, particularly NSE and/or BSE
• Experience in market making or a similar proprietary trading environment
• Strong understanding of options, market microstructure and trading dynamics
• A strong trading mindset, with the ability to turn quantitative research and market observations into trading decisions
• Experience working with semi-systematic trading strategies
• Strong Python skills; C++ is not required
• Candidates with experience from leading global market-making or proprietary trading firms would be particularly relevant

Location

Amsterdam, with an expectation to work onsite. The firm is open to candidates relocating internationally.

Start Date

Candidates who are available to start immediately are preferred, although the firm is willing to accommodate candidates subject to a non-compete period.

Compensation

Highly competitive and dependent on experience. Further details can be discussed confidentially.
