Systematic Options Trader (US based)

My client is a top-performing global market maker with a growing presence in systematic and quantitative trading. They are looking to hire a Systematic Equity Options Trader to join their expanding trading team in Miami.

The team is highly technology- and platform-driven, combining deep expertise in equity options with sophisticated quantitative research, automated trading infrastructure, and large-scale data. They are particularly interested in traders who bring strong options market knowledge alongside solid programming skills, with Python strongly preferred.

This is a front-office trading role with direct exposure to strategy development and P&L. You will work closely with quantitative researchers and engineers to identify opportunities, develop systematic trading strategies, and scale them across equity options markets.

The group has significant growth ambitions and has already made a number of successful hires this year, making this an exciting opportunity to join at an important stage of the team's development.
