Trader-in-Residence - Platform Experience & Product Testing

Navia Markets Ltd. | Chennai | Full-Time

About the Role

Navia is building out its trading platform - Chart Trader, Scalper, OTM Trader, Expiry Trader, and Commodity workspaces, live option chains with Greeks, position and order management, and more - and we want someone who lives inside options and commodity markets to sit on the terminal with us, not just test it in a lab.

This isnt a QA role in the traditional sense. Were looking for someone whose trading is already obsessive - the kind of trader whos watching the chain from market open to well past midnight on commodities, who has strong, specific opinions about what makes a trading screen fast versus slow, and who will tell us bluntly when something weve built doesnt survive contact with a real, fast-moving market.

Youll trade on the platform daily, using your own strategies and instincts, and in return you give us the sharpest, most honest feedback loop we can get: what breaks under pressure, whats a genuine friction point versus a minor annoyance,



and what a platform built by people who actually live in the market would look like.

What Youll Actually Do
- - Trade, every day, on Navia - index and stock options, and commodities - across your own strategies (scalping, positional, expiry-day, spreads, whatevers actually yours), using the platform as your primary or parallel terminal.
- Stress-test current features as they ship - Chart Traders order lines and drag-to-modify, the option chains chain/depth/activity views, Scalpers quick-buy flow, Expiry Traders risk guardrails - before and after they go live to other users.
- Flag real problems fast - a laggy quote, a confusing order ticket, a Greeks number that doesnt match your mental model, a workflow that takes three clicks when it should take one. We want this in real time, not in a quarterly survey.
- Think like an adversary of your own trades - deliberately push edge cases: fast expiry-day gamma mov
