Options Trader - India

Referment is working with a global options market maker to hire an Options Trader for its market-making team in Singapore, with a focus on index and stock options in the Indian market. You will join a collaborative trading operation and take direct responsibility for a proprietary trading book.

The Role

You will manage and optimise a proprietary trading book focused on Indian index and stock options, monitoring and managing risk exposures in real time. You will generate and implement trading ideas using both intuition and data-driven research, analyse historical trading performance to improve strategies and execution, and use quantitative tools to build hypotheses, design experiments and backtest strategies.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience trading Indian options (Korean or other markets experience is a plus)
• In-depth knowledge of pricing, execution and risk in index futures and cash equity markets
• Familiarity with algorithmic trading systems (high- or mid-frequency strategies)
• Bachelor's or higher degree in a STEM discipline (e.g. mathematics, engineering, physics, computer science)
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++; strong quantitative and analytical skills and the ability to interpret large datasets
• Experience in mathematical and statistical modelling using a range of techniques
• A self-starter capable of conducting independent research and driving projects, with excellent communication and collaboration skills and a passion for solving complex problems
  
  

The employer explicitly encourages driven, curious problem-solvers who do not meet every requirement to apply, and is building a well-rounded trading operation open to diverse profiles that add value to its Indian options strategy.

This could suit a quantitatively minded trader early in their career who wants direct ownership of a proprietary book in a specialist market.
