Quant Trader / Researcher Options &
Systematic Derivatives
NORTHSTAR QUANT • MUMBAI • FULL-TIME
About Northstar
Northstar is a fully systematic, delta-neutral investment manager focused on India's listed futures and
options market the world's largest derivatives market by volume. Returns are harvested through
coded rules, hard risk limits, and zero discretion.
We are building Northstar on a straightforward proposition: India's family-office and UHNI capital should have
access to a quantitative programme run to global institutional standards adapted for Indian
markets, not imported. That means independent risk governance, a formal Investment Committee,
and capacity discipline.
Backed by Crest Ventures, a publicly-listed group with three decades of building businesses across
financial services and investments.
About the Role
We are looking for a Quant Trader / Researcher to design, test, and trade systematic options
strategies on the Indian markets with a primary focus on weekly index and stock options
across NSE and BSE. This is a hybrid research-and-trading seat:



you will own ideas end-to-end,
from hypothesis and backtest through to live, capital-deployed execution, and stay close to the book
as it trades.
Weekly options are unforgiving and information-rich fast theta, sharp gamma, expiry-day
dislocations, and volatility that reprices around events. We want someone who treats that as an
edge, not a hazard, and who can build the research and risk machinery to trade it systematically.
Responsibilities
Design, backtest, and trade systematic weekly options strategies on NSE and BSE indices
(Nifty, Bank Nifty, FinNifty, Sensex) and liquid single-stock options.
Exploit the behavior of Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega) across the weekly expiry cycle as a
source of alpha capturing theta decay, gamma dynamics, and expiry-day and pinning effects in
strategy design.
