• Design, improve, and operate our market risk frameworks and automated monitoring tools in Python
• Assess and sign off on new trading strategies and algorithms
• Further develop the risk‑control framework, including policies, with a strong focus on trading and technology
• Provide input to optimize capital and liquidity allocation and usage of trading strategies

Key Requirements

• 3 – 5 years of experience working in an equity derivatives trading firm
• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field such as STEM, Statistics, Economics, or Finance
• Hands‑on understanding of equity and derivatives trading
• Clear understanding of risk factors that affect a market maker company trading a large equity derivatives portfolio
• Excellent numerical and analytical skills
• Ability to write code in Python
• Able to both design and implement aspects of risk management frameworks
