Employer job description
From IMC's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are looking for an Index Options Low-Latency Execution Quantitative Trader to join our team. IMC's Index Options desk is one of the leading electronic liquidity providers in index options markets. Our execution team is responsible for getting IMC into the trades we want to participate in, across a range of mechanisms.
Our ultra-low latency infrastructure is best-in-class, and because IMC is highly collaborative between traders, quant researchers, and developers, the scope of this role spans deep trade analysis, execution system improvement, and early ownership of a defined part of the strategy.
Your Core Responsibilities:
- Drive revenue in low-latency index options trading by building upon and improving our electronic execution systems
- Deliver high-quality analysis using a variety of datasets, including options pricing, trades data, and exchange feed
- Dive into specific trade examples to understand the behavior of our systems and those of our competitors, identify anomalies, and quantify opportunities
