What will you work on

We are looking for an experienced options trader with a proven track record at a top tier trading firm. At Wintermute, you will be responsible for building and scaling our option trading business.

No legacy systems, no corporate bureaucracy, no multiple levels of approvals. It is up to you to make an impact.  You will act like an owner and your incentives will be completely aligned with those of the company!

Coding experience or some demonstrated ability to learn it very quickly is required.

• 3-5+ years of option market making at one of the top tier trading firms in the space (must have); we prefer proprietary trading experience with significant component of systematic and algorithmic trading (not only position taking or executing client trades).
• Deep understanding of option pricing and risk frameworks; ability to design these from scratch based on prior expertise.
• Excellent quantitative and analytical skills: we will test (must have).
• Python/coding skills is a significant advantage; otherwise, willingness and ability to learn Python within several months on own time is required.

• Have an owner mentality - you focus on the ultimate result - P&L for the company and strategically growing the business and Wintermute partnerships.
• Love problem solving, and love seeing your products work; you do whatever it takes to do what’s needed (trading, coding, analysing data, collaborating).
• Determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to work hard and learn on the way.
• Like meritocracy and being judged by what you deliver.
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset versus working  9-to-5 mentality; prepared to work non-standard working hours (since we are a pivotal player in the crypto markets that don’t stop 24/7 ).
• Like working in a team collaborative environment.
