About the role

Edgehog Trading is a proprietary trading firm focused on systematic options trading and market making. The team combines trading, engineering, and business operations to design and operate automated, scalable systems that provide liquidity. We emphasize data-driven decision making, rigorous problem solving, and continuous improvement in a collaborative environment. You will work with a small team, own meaningful components, and contribute directly to the firm’s growth from day one.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
