Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Execute and monitor index options strategies (Nifty, Bank Nifty) in real time, keeping algo activity within risk and margin limits.
• Manage contract rolls — transitioning positions from back-month to front-month strategies — and maintain the automation that supports this.
• Perform post-trade analysis on fills, market share, and execution quality.
• Apply rigorous statistical methods to ensure the robustness and reliability of results
• 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 how information moves between internal systems and the exchange
• Comfortable moving between well-defined, implementation-style tasks and open-ended investigations where the question itself needs to be framed.
• 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.

Who can apply

• 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 genuine curiosity about how these workflows scale in a larger team.
• Communicate clearly and in a structured way — able to explain technical or operational issues to both trading and non-trading stakeholders.
• Mentor and train junior team members on desk processes and tools as the team grows.
• Prior experience in trading operations, execution, or production support at a proprietary trading firm, market maker, or similar high-frequency environment
• Strong foundation in probability, statistics, and quantitative modelling
• Experience working with large datasets and time-series data
• Strong programming skills in at least one language, preferably Python
