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.

Trade Execution & Risk Monitoring
Execute and monitor index options strategies (Nifty, Bank Nifty) in real

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

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 bri
