Quant Trader

As a Quant Trader at RAVEN, you make the trading decisions that drive our automated strategies across spot, perpetuals, and prediction markets. You own the P&L of your strategies, manage real-time risk across centralized and decentralized exchanges, and work with our quants and developers to refine our approach as market conditions shift.

What you'll do

• Run live trading strategies across centralized and decentralized exchanges and prediction markets, adjusting spreads, sizes, inventory, and parameters in real time as conditions change
• Manage options risk by keeping delta hedged, maintaining gamma and vega within limits, and anticipating expiries, pin risk, and funding costs
• Perform post-trade analysis on fills, P&L attribution, slippage, and markouts to identify where you make money and where you leak it
• Spot pricing inefficiencies, liquidity patterns, and reaction times across venues that can become trading ideas for our quants to test
• Evaluate new exchanges and products for trading potential and scale into them as they prove themselves
• Own strategies end to end, from pricing and execution logic to deciding when to scale up or switch them off

What you bring

• A solid understanding of derivatives, especially options and perpetual futures, including the Greeks, implied volatility and skew, funding, and basis
• Knowledge of market microstructure and order flow: how order books, queue position, fees, and latency determine your fills
• Comfort with probability, regression, and time series statistics, and the ability to distinguish real P&L changes from noise
• Understanding of market-making mathematics: fair value, inventory skew, adverse selection, and how each shapes quoting strategy
• At least 3 years of live trading experience with real money, ideally at a market maker, prop trading firm, exchange, or bank derivatives desk
• Thinking in expected value: you tell bad decisions from bad luck and change your mind when data tells you to
• The ability to decide quickly and calmly when markets move fast, size up risk, act, and explain your reasoning afterwards
• Data instincts: you use Python and Linux to dig into fills, order book data, and P&L, and you catch errors like misaligned timestamps before they distort analysis
• Fluent English

Nice to have

• Hands-on options trading experience such as running a book, quoting and hedging, or volatility relative value trades
• Experience trading on-chain or on decentralized exchanges
• Experience trading prediction markets
• Experience putting models or data into production trading workflows
• SQL and experience working with large trading datasets
• Reading knowledge of Rust, the language our trading systems are written in

What we offer

• In-office position in Sofia, Bulgaria or Milan, Italy
