Description
Eclipse Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm. Founded in 2007, we have over 120 employees across 4 office locations – Hong Kong (our HQ), Sydney, Shanghai and Chicago. Our trading expertise and strategies are deployed across several markets globally, focusing on various products including equity derivatives, delta one, ETFs, commodity derivatives, and cryptocurrency. Technology is inextricably linked to our trading strategies, creating an environment powered by intellectual curiosity, problem solving, and innovation.
We are looking for a sharp, data-driven individual who understands that the best trading models are born from the synthesis of rigorous research and live market intuition. This is not an ivory-tower role for pure number-crunching or detached theoretical modelling. Instead, you will work side-by-side with traders to codify their market intuition, convert abstract trading ideas into algorithms, and directly scale our competitive edge in production. This is an on-site role and this position is part of our global Quant and Integration team and will report to the Senior Trading Analyst of Quant and Integration.

- Work with traders and quants to identify technical trading problems, conduct detailed research and deliver mathematical solutions
- Derive fair value and price sensitivity of financial instruments based on mathematical theory and statistical models
- Design and deploy automation tools to improve trading
What you offer
- 1-3 years of hands-on experience working on or with a high to mid frequency trading desk that specializes in volatility trading
- Experience working with parametric volatility models
- Smile decomposition into meaningful parameters
- Spot-Volatility correlation modelling
- Fitting optimal, bias and arbitrage free shapes
- Experience working with traders on optimizing and backtesting options portfolios/strategies.
- Long/Short relative volatility
- Dispersion/Partial dispersion
- Modelling Vol Beta/Correlation between different underliers
- Forecasting Realized Volatility and Skewness
- Event Vol pricing (earnings, macro, takeovers etc.)
- Term structure modelling
- Good command of spoken and written English
- Exceptional proficiency in Python and data analysis libraries
- A genuine curiosity about new, cutting-edge volatility research and a passion for turning theoretical research into profitable trading strategies
- A self-starter who can take an ambiguous trading problem, structure an empirical experiment, and deliver production-ready solutions independently
- A strong academic background in a quantitative or engineering discipline
What we offer
- The opportunity to work in a collaborative environment where your contributions directly impact the success of the desk
- A close-knit team that values innovation, creativity, and professional growth
- Exposure to cutting-edge trading strategies and technologies in the volatility space
- A flat management structure, where everyone's voice is valued
- Work life balance within a multi-cultural environment
