Assistant Crypto Options Portfolio Manager We are seeking an Options Portfolio Manager to manage and scale a BTC and ETH options income portfolio, with a focus on yield‑generation strategies such as covered calls, cash‑secured puts, spreads, and structured option overlays. The ideal candidate combines hands‑on crypto options trading experience with strong data, quantitative, and programming skills, and is comfortable running a risk‑managed book in a fast‑moving market.

Responsibilities

Manage an options income portfolio on BTC and ETH, targeting consistent, risk‑adjusted returns.

Design, execute, and refine systematic option strategies (e.g., covered calls, put‑writing, calendars, spreads, collars, and structured income overlays).

Monitor and optimize Greeks, skew, IV term structure, and vol regimes to drive tactical adjustments.

Conduct quantitative research to enhance strike selection, tenor mix, risk budgeting, and volatility‑based signals.

Implement and maintain analytical tooling, dashboards, backtests, and execution logic using Python or similar languages.

Work closely with research, execution, and risk teams to continuously improve strategy performance and controls.

Evaluate liquidity, funding, slippage, and venue micro‑structure across CeFi and Derivatives venues (e.g., Deribit, CME, listed options on IBIT and ETHA).

Maintain tight risk discipline and adhere to pre‑defined drawdown, exposure, and volatility limits.

Qualifications

3–5 years of direct options trading experience, preferably in crypto options.

Proven track record managing or contributing to an options income or volatility‑based strategy.

Strong grasp of option theory, Greeks, vol surfaces, skew dynamics, term structure, and risk‑neutral pricing.

Proficiency in Python (preferred), R, or similar for research, backtesting, and data automation.

Experience working with data‑driven signals (price/vol/microstructure) for strike selection and regime detection.

High attention to detail, strong risk discipline, and ability to execute in fast markets.

Entrepreneurial mindset—comfortable building, iterating, and problem‑solving in a small‑team environment.

Preferred Skills

Prior success running a live options book with defined KPIs (Sharpe, Sortino, yield target, drawdown limits).

Knowledge of volatility‑arb, term‑structure trades, variance strategies, or structured product design.

Familiarity with CeFi vs. DeFi execution pipelines (hedging, margin, and liquidity workflows).

What We Offer

Opportunity to scale a meaningful options portfolio in a macro‑driven crypto environment.

Highly collaborative investment culture, combining crypto‑native and institutional expertise.

Competitive compensation structure with meaningful P&L‑linked upside.
