Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Research & Scientific (R&D)

Key Responsibilities

  • •Build and maintain options pricing and valuation models calibrated to digital asset vol markets
  • •Develop execution algorithms for options and structured derivatives: entry/exit timing, hedging logic, and delta management
  • •Research volatility dynamics across crypto markets — term structure, skew, realised vs implied, and cross-asset relationships
  • •Analyse microstructure on options venues to improve fill quality and reduce execution costs
  • •Collaborate with engineers to deploy execution models into live infrastructure

Key Requirements

  • •Strong quantitative background in maths, physics, financial engineering, or computer science
  • •Deep understanding of options pricing theory — Black-Scholes, stochastic vol models (Heston, SABR, local vol) and their practical limitations
  • •Hands-on experience building execution models or systematic options strategies at a trading firm, hedge fund, or structured products desk
  • •Familiarity with crypto derivatives markets (Deribit, OKX, Bybit) and their differences from TradFi options markets
  • •Strong Python; C++ a significant plus for latency-sensitive execution work
