Quantitative Researcher --> Trader - Commodity Options
Fionics
QR Ready to Trade — Commodity Options (CME & ICE), Chicago
You are a quant researcher who knows you could trade, but the jump from research to risk is years away where you are. This seat is built to get you there fast.
A Chicago desk trading commodity and index options on CME and ICE, backed by a low-profile HFT firm, is hiring a researcher with a quick runway into trading. The modelling foundation is built. They want someone who turns an idea into a live trade and starts owning risk.
Looking for:
- 2 to 3 years as a QR at an options market maker, prop firm or commodity shop
- Exposure to commodity options or options on futures, comfort with pricing, Greeks and risk
- Python is fine, no hardcore C++ needed
- Genuinely wants to trade, not stay in research
Why it's a good seat:
- The fastest path from research into trading you will find
- No non-compete imposed, and they will wait out yours
- Cheapest cost structure in the business: no tech, data or capital charges on your P&L
Chicago, on-site. Not single-stock, not cash-settled index options.
Ready to trade, or know someone who is? Reach out for a confidential chat.
