We're looking for an Operations Trader to join our Index Options desk.

Automation & Tooling

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 g
