About Us
We are building a next‑generation
AI-driven options trading system
focused on
SPX and ES 0DTE & 1DTE . Our goal is to systematically capture
5x–10x intraday option moves
by combining:
Deep
Technical Analysis (TA)
A
multi‑LLM “council” architecture
(strategy + critic, similar to llm-council)
Real-time commercial‑grade data
Cross‑asset and macro/event awareness
Automated execution via
TastyTrade APIs
We are looking for a
hands-on Senior Quant / AI Trading Engineer
to design and build this system end‑to‑end.
Role Overview
You will architect and implement a
Smart AI trading bot
that:
Trades
ES futures and options overnight/pre‑market
(approx.
6:00 PM–9:30 AM EST )
Trades
SPX 0DTE and 1DTE options
during regular hours
Uses
multiple LLMs , where:
One LLM
proposes strategies, entries, exits, and risk parameters
One or more LLMs
critique and challenge
those strategies before execution
Incorporates
Technical Analysis, sentiment, volatility, macro events, and cross‑asset flows
Executes
multiple staggered entries and exits
to improve average prices
Analyzes ES from 6 PM EST (prior evening) through 9:30 AM EST , trades ES in that window, then
exits or converts ES positions into SPX after ~10:00 AM EST
once opening volatility settles
Trades via
TastyTrade APIs , strictly following defined risk parameters
Key Responsibilities
Multi‑LLM Strategy & Critic Engine
Design a
multi‑LLM “council”
where:
A “Strategy LLM” generates trade ideas, entries/exits, size, and risk parameters
“Critic LLMs” stress‑test, challenge assumptions, and flag risks
Implement workflows:
proposal → critique → refinement → final decision , with deterministic risk rules as guardrails.
Technical Analysis & Signal Generation (Must-Have)
Build TA-based signals using:
Multi‑timeframe
trend/momentum indicators
(EMAs/SMAs, VWAP, MACD, RSI, ADX, etc.)
Volatility/range tools
(ATR, gaps, opening range, realized vs. implied vol)
Market structure
(support/resistance, liquidity zones, prior day high/low, overnight levels)
Perform detailed
ES trend analysis
from
6 PM EST (prior evening)
to
9:30 AM EST :
Direction, strength, volatility, and key levels
Use that analysis to:
Take
ES trades between 6 PM and 9:30 AM EST
Decide whether to
exit or convert ES positions into SPX 0DTE/1DTE trades after ~10 AM EST .
Trade Management, Scaling & Risk
Implement
multiple entries and exits :
Scaling into positions at predefined technical/volatility levels
Layered profit targets and stop levels to improve average prices
Build a
risk engine
to:
Set daily
Max Loss
and
Max Profit
as a % of portfolio
Stop trading once limits are hit
Control max exposure, number of positions, and per‑trade risk
Support
user-selectable :
Bias:
Bullish only / Bearish only / Both ways
Profiles:
Conservative / Moderate / Aggressive
(affects size, frequency, and risk per trade).
Macro Events, News & Cross‑Asset Context
Track and integrate
major events , including:
FOMC ,
jobs data/NFP ,
CPI/PPI ,
GDP , etc.
Earnings calendar
(especially large index components)
Important
global geopolitical news
impacting risk sentiment
Use these events to:
Adjust or pause trading around high-risk windows
Feed event context into LLMs for better decision‑making.
Monitor
cross‑asset markets
that drive SPX/ES:
Oil, Copper, Gold, Silver, US Dollar (DXY/FX)
Detect confirmation/divergence patterns between these assets and ES/SPX, and reflect that in:
Trade bias (risk‑on vs risk‑off)
Aggressiveness of entries/exits and position sizing.
Data, Execution & System Design
Integrate with our
commercial-grade real-time data feed
for:
ES, SPX, their options, and key cross‑asset instruments
Build a robust
execution layer using TastyTrade APIs :
Handle order placement, modifications, cancels, fills, and error conditions
Manage slippage, partial fills, and retry logic
Architect a
modular system :
Data ingestion → TA & signals → LLM council → risk → execution → UI/monitoring
Implement
monitoring, logging, and alerting
for:
Strategy decisions & LLM reasoning (traceability)
P&L, risk, exposure, and events
Connectivity and system health
Required Skills & Experience
Must-Haves:
Strong, practical Technical Analysis skills Comfortable with multi‑timeframe chart analysis, indicators, and price action.
4+ years in
quantitative/algo trading or systematic options/futures development
Strong programming in
Python
(or similar, with willingness to build in Python)
Hands-on experience with:

LLM / AI:
Experience
using or integrating LLMs
(agents, decision support, tools, etc.)
Familiarity with
multi-agent / council‑style LLM patterns
(proposal vs critic/debate).
Ability to design
prompts, context pipelines, and guardrails
for trading decisions.
APIs & Infrastructure:
Experience with
broker APIs
(TastyTrade is a strong plus; IBKR/Tradier/etc. also helpful)
Familiarity with
real-time data feeds
(WebSocket, FIX, vendor SDKs)
Strong engineering practices: testing, logging, observability, deployment.
Nice-to-Have
Direct experience with
SPX & ES 0DTE/1DTE
strategies
Experience with:
Cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure),
Docker , and basic DevOps
