Description
Quantitative Volatility Traders (QVTs) collaborate with developers and researchers to implement Xantium's derivatives trading strategies. Their roles require established Python coding skills, strong mental math, and developed market intuition.
Initial responsibilities include trading system monitoring and improvement; some roles also involve individual trade execution and support.

All applicants should have:
- 1-3+ years of fulltime experience trading derivatives or developing options trading systems
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in hard sciences (e.g., mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering, etc.)
- Strong Python coding skills
