AJ studied Combined BA in Finance, Economics, and Philosophy at Drexel University and is now a Quantitative Trader at Citadel Securities

My role at IMC is a value-based market-making (VMM) options trader on the Kospi 200 index with a specific focus on broker trading and relationships.

Good work and good ideas stand on their own merit, regardless of your seniority. People are encouraged to always push the envelope, looking for potential value to be added or ways to improve the status quo.

If you crave excitement, then trading is a great job for you. A trader’s day is dictated by news events happening in the world, and what other market participants trade against us each day – we never really know what is going to unfold.

I love that there are plenty of interesting, dynamic, and challenging problems at Optiver and you’ll never be bored of whatever you are working on.

Every day is a genuinely new and interesting challenge, much more so than I’d ever anticipated. 

My role as a Quant Trader is to research, monitor and improve new and existing trading strategies.
