Work with developers where modest platform improvements are required.
Potentially help develop a broader rolls/rates trading capability over time.
CANDIDATE SPECIFICATIONS
Strong on index rolls, rates and term-structure exposure
Able to identify P&L opportunities, not just hedge risk

Strong understanding of options markets
Commercial trading mindset with appetite for risk ownership and strategy responsibility
Strong interest and ability to operate in a fast-moving, opportunistic trading environment
Strong analytical skills and research capabilities
