An established Chicago prop trading firm is looking to expand their automated trading platform by bringing on a senior trader with a background in the equity options space. Their strategies have historically been semi-systematic but over the last year they've built out the infrastructure and invested heavily in resourcing the project. The ideal candidate will be able to bring new strategies to the table that add to what they are already running and be able to guide the direction of the team.

What you will do:

• Utilize the firm's technology to deploy systematic equity/index options strategies
• Mentor and lead a team of researchers, traders, and engineers to improve systems
• Manage all aspects of the group in terms of capital allocation, tech improvements, and hiring
• Collaborate closely with C-suite to guide short and long term direction of team

What they are targeting:

• 10+ years of experience in the systematic trading space running automated, intraday strategies
• Track record of taking strategies from ideas to production
• Ideally focused on single stock or index options in US markets
• Experience leading a team and owning outcomes for a larger group
