Derivatives / Volatility / Market Maker

Location: Remote / EU-friendly time zones
Type: Full-time
Reporting to: CEO / Head of Trading
Compensation: Base salary + clear P&L / profit share
 

Role Overview

We are hiring a senior derivatives trader (options / volatility / electronic market making) to build market-making logic for our Prediction Markets trading direction.

You will define how the strategy should trade (pricing, quoting, risk rules). Our engineering team will help automate and productionize the system.
 

What You Will Do1. Trading logic for prediction markets

• Design market-making approach for event / outcome contracts (similar to short-dated digital options).
• Define pricing, spreads, skew, inventory and risk rules.
• Trade around event-driven conditions (news, scheduled announcements, settlement / resolution risk).

2. Risk & P&L ownership

• Own daily P&L and risk limits.
• Manage drawdowns, tail risk, and “jump / resolution” risk.
• Explain failure modes clearly and build practical risk controls.

3. Work with engineers

• Translate your trading decisions into clear rules and requirements.
• Partner with the internal engineering team to automate execution and controls.
• Help define what needs to be built first (execution, risk, monitoring).
   

Requirements

• 3–10+ years as a derivatives / options / volatility / electronic market-making trader (prop firm, hedge fund, bank e-trading desk, or crypto MM).
• Proven experience owning risk and P&L.
• Strong understanding of:
  • options / volatility concepts
  • microstructure and execution quality
  • event-driven markets and auction-like behavior
     

Nice to Have

• Any coding experience (Python / C++ / Rust / Go), but not mandatory.
• Options market making / volatility trading in crypto or traditional markets.
• Experience with digital/binary-like payoffs or event contracts.
• Crypto market making (CEX/DEX), cross-venue arbitrage.
   

What you will get

• Build and own a new trading direction (Prediction Markets) from early stage.
• Real ownership: strategy design + P&L responsibility.
• Strong engineering support to automate and scale your edge.
   

Hiring Process

• Intro call with recruiter
• Interviews with Senior stakeholders
• Final interview with C-level team
