Responsibilities:
- Work closely with senior staff to manage risk across the books of multiple desks
- Expanding and maintaining internal tools pivotal to day to day trading operations

- Creating P&L, accounting, and other operational reports to assess the performance of a multitude of trading strategies.
Ideal Candidate Traits:
- Comfortable with numbers, enjoy puzzles/finding patterns and solving problems.

You are encouraged to ask for the resources, mentorship, and direction you need to build things and solve problems, and expected to focus where you can maximize your value to the team. As you demonstrate proficiency, your responsibilities and role will grow.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced situations on a 8-12 person team of extremely bright, sometimes intense professionals.
- You’re not expected to have a mastery of programming, but familiarity with Python/Linux is a bonus.
