Job Description

As the lead for Gold Perpetuals and Cross-Asset Strategies, you will bridge the gap between traditional macro commodity markets and the frontier of crypto-settled derivatives. This role requires a sophisticated blend of discretionary macro insight and systematic market-making logic.

Key Responsibilities
Strategy Alpha: Build and operate high-performance market-making, relative-value, and hedging strategies specifically for Gold Perpetuals.
Quantitative Modeling: Develop robust fair-value models that synthesize macro factors, physical commodity flows, futures curves, and implied volatility structures.
Execution & Optimization: Collaborate with the engineering team to refine automated quoting behavior, latency-sensitive auto-hedging, and protective logic for outlier/black-swan events.
Risk & Inventory Management: Oversee global delta exposure, manage high-leverage positions, and balance multi-venue inventory to ensure capital efficiency.
Market Intelligence: Analyze deep-level funding mechanics, exchange liquidity, and order-book anomalies to exploit market inefficiencies.
Cross-Asset Expansion: Identify and execute arbitrage or directional opportunities across asset classes (e.g., Gold vs. BTC, Equities, and FX).

Requirements
Tenure: 8+ years of professional experience trading Gold or precious metals (Spot, Futures, or OTC).
Domain Expertise: A profound understanding of commodity fundamentals, macro-economic drivers, and volatility dynamics.
Hybrid Skillset: Proven experience in systematic, execution-driven environments combined with strong discretionary judgment.
Technical Proficiency: Hands-on experience with analytical tools (Python, R, or similar) to backtest and refine strategy logic.
Risk Discipline: A track record of managing significant books and high-leverage positions through volatile market cycles.
Collaboration: The ability to communicate complex trading logic to technical teams and developers effectively.
