Job Summary

This position belongs to the Trading Desk of the quantitative trading fund,  and is responsible for the daily operation and maintenance as well as risk control of the fund’s independently developed intelligent trading system.

• Abnormal Incident Response: When the system triggers risk control warnings (such as sharp changes in implied volatility, drastic reversals of underlying assets, insufficient margin, etc.), conduct emergency disposal in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures.
• Expiration Date Management: Track options positions approaching maturity, decide to roll over, liquidate, exercise or abandon according to risk control strategies, to prevent unexpected positions caused by accidental exercise.
• Logging and Reporting: Record all operational events, options strategy construction bases and Greeks changes during shifts, and prepare daily trading reports and risk analysis reports as required.
• Shift Handover: Complete shift handover in accordance with standard procedures, focusing on key information such as options expiration calendar, current Greeks exposure, and volatility surface changes.
