We're looking for an Operations Trader to join our Index Options desk. This role sits at the intersection of trading, production operations, and technology — executing and monitoring index options strategies in real time, owning the day-to-day health of the book, and digging into execution quality and system behavior when things don't go as expected. We're especially interested in people who have owned the day-to-day of their own strategies before, even if that ownership wasn't the headline of their last role.
Your Core Responsibilities:
Trade Execution & Risk Monitoring
Execute and monitor index options strategies (Nifty, Bank Nifty) in real time, keeping algo activity within risk and margin limits.
Manage contract rolls — transitioning positions from back-month to front-month strategies — and maintain the automation that supports this.
Perform post-trade analysis on fills, market share, and execution quality.
Apply rigorous statistical methods to ensure the robustness and reliability of results
Production & Operational Ownership
Own reconciliation, network connectivity checks,



and other production-health tasks that keep the desk running, even when they're not the most visible part of the job.
Investigate execution issues end-to-end — tracing latency and timelines of how information moves between internal systems and the exchange
Comfortable moving between well-defined, implementation-style tasks and open-ended investigations where the question itself needs to be framed.
Automation & Tooling
Build and maintain automation in Python and Bash to reduce manual intervention and operational risk — e.g., auto-liquidation workflows, contract-roll automation, monitoring scripts.
Collaboration & Market Awareness
Build a deep understanding of market behaviour, pricing dynamics, and structural inefficiencies
Partner with Quant Researchers, Developers, Risk, and Operations to troubleshoot production issues and improve execution reliability — and bring genuine curiosity about ho
