Quantitative Volatility Traders (QVTs) collaborate with developers and researchers to implement Xantium's derivatives trading strategies. Their roles require established Python coding skills, strong mental math, and developed market intuition.
Initial responsibilities include trading system monitoring and improvement; some roles also involve individual trade execution and support. Over time and with guidance from senior team members, all QVTs grow to better understand how the range of Xantium’s volatility strategies are developed and optimized.
