Quantitative Options Strategist (Or: "Professional volatility whisperer who enjoys pain")

Are you tired of making money solely in backtests where transaction costs don't exist, bid-ask spreads are a myth, and your fill rate is magically 100%?

Do you lie awake at night wondering why your gorgeous, curve-fitted Sharpe 4.2 strategy disintegrated into an emotional support animal the millisecond it hit live order routing?

Good. We have a seat for you.

The Role:

We are looking for a Quantitative Options Strategist to design, torture-test, and actually deploy option trading strategies into the wild, unforgiving live market.

Your job will be to convince a machine that implied volatility is mispriced, execute the trades before latency tears your edge to shreds, and calmly explain to risk management why a 4-sigma tail event just happened twice in the same Tuesday morning session.

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Build non-linear volatility, dispersion, and exotic relative-value models that look like modern art on a whiteboard.
• Deploy those models directly to live exchanges and watch real liquidity providers immediately front-run your assumptions.
• Manage high-order Greeks you forgot existed until gamma turns into an avalanche.
• Spend 10% of your time on advanced stochastic calculus and 90% of your time cleaning corrupted tick-level options feed data.
• Actively prevent our capital from becoming exit liquidity for market makers with faster microwave links.

Who You Are:

• You know the Black-Scholes assumptions are an elaborate inside joke, but you respect the math anyway.
• You have deployed live options capital before and have the localized trauma to prove it.
• You understand that "it worked on historical data" is a phrase reserved for bedtime stories and bankrupt funds.

What We Offer:

• Real capital to deploy (not paper trading, not demo accounts).
• High-performance execution infrastructure so you can lose or make money at sub-millisecond speeds.
• A team that won't panic when your delta is neutral but your PnL is somehow vertically down.
• Competitive compensation, great coffee, and an unlimited supply of antacids.

(Recruiters: If your candidate thinks buying a 0DTE call on Robinhood constitutes quantitative options research, please spare us both).
