Job Summary:

Navia Markets is looking for an active Options / Futures / Commodity Trader to join our team as a Trader-in-Residence.

You will trade on Navia's platform, test recent features in real market conditions, identify trading-platform issues, and work closely with Product and Engineering teams to improve the overall trading experience.

Test and evaluate features such as Chart Trader, Scalper, Option Chain, Expiry Trader, OTM Trader and Order/Position Management.
Identify issues related to latency, execution, usability, order workflows, market data and platform performance.
Stress-test the platform during expiry days, high-volatility markets, rapid price movements and illiquid strikes.
Provide clear, actionable feedback to Product, Engineering and UX teams.




Compare Navia's platform with other broker terminals and recommend improvements.
Participate in product discussions and help shape features based on real trading requirements.

Candidate Profile:
Active trader with robust experience in Options, F&O; and/or Commodities.
Practical experience with intraday, scalping, positional or expiry-day trading.
Valuable understanding of Option Chain, Greeks, Market Depth, Order Types and Order Management.
Experience using multiple trading platforms/brokers such as Zerodha, Dhan, Upstox, Angel One, Groww, 5paisa or similar.
Strong ability to identify and explain trading-platform usability and performance issues.
Comfortable working with Product and Engineering teams and providing direct feedback.
Willing to work from Chennai office and support market/commodity trading hours when required.

Good to Have:
Experience with MCX / Commodity Futures & Options.
Experience across multiple F&O; expiry cycles.
Experience with scalping or high-frequency manual trading.
Experience in broker/platform beta testing or structured product feedback.
