Options Trader - Durlston Partners - Remote - Global

We may have a home for you in Shanghai at a globally renowned trading firm. They’re on the hunt for an Options Trader (Vol Whisperer), so if you see the world in probabilistic shades of Greeks, this may be for you. This is for a brand new trading desk, so you can expect your impact on PnL to be seen, felt and heard… providing one of your colleagues is happy to shout about how great you are. What will this look like? Automating liquidity provision for Options. Directing Delta, Theta, Gamma and Vega as if they’re an orchestra, playing in harmony to make you (and the company) money. Spotting hidden patterns and having the freedom to act on your convictions with discretionary trading. What do they need from you? An obsessive understanding of Options. Proven experience market-making in options (equity, index, FX, rates). A strong understanding of quant trading models, balanced with gut-feel intuition. Business fluency of Mandarin. What they can give you? Greenfield work; this is not a backfill, you will be building from the ground up. Freedom to take risks with capital. No risk no reward. Full relocation expenses and services covered to relocate to Shanghai. A friendly team of weirdos who get excited about skew and convexity.
