Quantitative Volatility Traders (QVTs) collaborate with developers and researchers to implement Xantium's derivatives trading strategies. Their roles require established Python coding skills, strong mental math, and developed market intuition.
Initial responsibilities include trading system monitoring and improvement; some roles also involve individual trade execution and support. Over time and with guidance from senior team members, all QVTs grow to better understand how the range of Xantium’s volatility strategies are developed and optimized.
We are seeking multiple QVTs for a rapidly growing team. At this time, candidates with derivatives experience in the following underlying asset types are particularly attractive: equities (single name and index), commodities, and fixed income.
All applicants should have:
1-3+ years of fulltime experience trading derivatives or developing options trading systems
Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in hard sciences (e.g., mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering, etc.)
Strong Python coding skills
Compensation: Quantitative Volatility Traders in New York can expect to earn $150,000 to $225,000+ base. Total compensation for all Quantitative Volatility Traders also includes a large annual bonus which is guaranteed in year one and based on employee and firm performance thereafter.
