This is an opportunity for you to work directly with our traders to develop models, risk management and vol trading tools. If you are a skilled modeler, with experience developing and implementing volatility models, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities:

Develop a library and several parts of trading infrastructure to value, risk-analyze derivatives, calibrate quantitative models on several asset classes including Equity, Rates, FX, Commodities, and Credit

Qualifications:
