## Description

We are seeking an experienced developer with a strong understanding of options theory and derivatives pricing who can translate quantitative research into production trading systems. The ideal candidate understands both the underlying theory and the engineering required to build reliable, low-latency software. Working closely with traders and quantitative researchers, the candidate will transform theoretical pricing models into practical, production-ready implementations, making sound engineering decisions where theory and real-world constraints diverge. This role provides significant ownership over the architecture, design, and implementation of the firm's core pricing technology., * Design and implement real-time theoretical pricing models for options

 * Design and implement numerical methods that balance theoretical accuracy with production performance
 * Improve pricing accuracy, computational efficiency, and performance under high-throughput market conditions
 * Work with traders and quantitative researchers to implement and refine theoretical pricing models
 * Participate in architecture design decisions related to scalability, latency, resiliency, and data integrity
 * Collaborate with engineering and trading teams to define technical requirements and deliver production-quality software
