Digital Assets Trader (Crypto Options)
OptiverAbout the Role
Optiver is building out its Digital Assets desk into a 24/7 global trading business, hiring an options trader in Singapore to run the Asia session. You will manage the crypto options book, price and quote across major crypto venues, and operate with a high degree of independence while receiving overnight oversight from the London desk. This is an opportunity to join a new desk early, take real ownership of a trading session, and grow your career as the business scales across products and the region.
- Manage the crypto options book during Asia session (quoting, pricing, hedging and execution) within defined risk limits
- Run and scale automated options market-making strategies across major crypto venues
- Manage delta and vega risk through the session and ensure clean position/PnL handover to London
- Work closely with engineers and quants to improve trading systems and infrastructure
- Develop your trading under the mentorship of senior traders with a meritocratic path to greater responsibility
Requirements
- Typically 3-4 years of options trading experience at a proprietary trading firm, market maker or bank
- Strong grounding in options pricing, volatility and risk management
- Exposure to automated/systematic market making is a plus

- Strong existing network of OTC/DCP relationships in digital assets is a plus
- Comfort in a fast, technology-driven, latency-aware trading environment
- The maturity and discipline to run a trading session with a high degree of independence, knowing when to act and when to escalate
- Strong quantitative intuition, sharp decision-making under pressure, and a collaborative style that works across a distributed (Singapore-London) team
- Eagerness to learn, take ownership and grow with a new desk
