  • Contribute to the continuous enhancement of G-20's trading infrastructure, data pipelines, and analytical frameworks.
  • Monitor portfolio performance and risk metrics, providing regular feedback on strategy effectiveness and market impact.

Requirements

  • Strong background in options trading with a solid understanding of options pricing theory, volatility trading, and relevant strategies. Experience in high volatility asset classes and leveraged trading is essential.
  • Proven track record of generating consistent profits (PnL >$2m annually for more than 3 years, increasing with experience).
  • Experience with quantitative trading and the ability to apply data analysis to trading decisions.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, capable of making quick, data-driven decisions.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
  • Demonstration of a results-driven, proactive, and self-motivated approach.

Preferred / Desirable Experience

  • Experience in a proprietary trading, market-making, or hedge fund environment.
  • Familiarity with automation and algorithmic execution strategies for options.
  • Proficiency with trading and analytical tools (e.g. Python, Excel/VBA, SQL).
