Options Execution Researcher AlgoQuant Asset Management Dubai (preferred) · London · New York – Reports to Head of Research – Rolling start About AlgoQuant AlgoQuant Asset Management is a multi-strategy digital asset manager allocating capital across 25+ internal and external quantitative trading pods. Founded in 2018, we have evolved into an institutional platform combining trading edge with strong governance and advanced technology, serving family offices and institutional investors globally. The role We are hiring an Options Execution Researcher to build and optimise systematic execution and pricing models for digital asset derivatives. This is a role at the intersection of quantitative research and live trading — you will develop the models that determine how we trade options, not just analyse them. You will own the full stack from theoretical pricing to live execution logic, working closely with portfolio managers and engineers to move from research into production. This role is for someone with genuine options intuition: you think in vol surfaces, understand the Greeks under pressure, and have a track record of turning derivatives theory into executable, capital-efficient strategy. Responsibilities ● Build and maintain options pricing and valuation models calibrated to digital asset vol markets ● Develop execution algorithms for options and structured derivatives: entry/exit timing, hedging logic, and delta management ● Research volatility dynamics across crypto markets — term structure, skew, realised vs implied, and cross-asset relationships ● Analyse microstructure on options venues to improve fill quality and reduce execution costs ● Construct and maintain backtests for options strategies with accurate handling of path dependency, margin, and transaction costs ● Collaborate with engineers to deploy execution models into live infrastructure ● Monitor live strategy Greeks and P C++ a significant plus for latency-sensitive execution work ● Rigorous approach t
