Equity Derivatives Trader

Who We Are

BONG SCALPER

is a technology-driven research and development firm focused on building advanced

quantitative trading algorithms , high-frequency analytical engines, and institutional-grade decision systems. Our proprietary platform,

OptiXen , operates round-the-clock across leading Indian indices and 250+ blue-chip stocks, generating

Quant-Powered Research, Tactical Signals & Execution-Ready Recommendations

for institutional market participants.

innovation, rigorous research, data-first decision making, operational discipline, and absolute transparency . We empower our team with autonomy, a fail-fast mindset, and the freedom to experiment, iterate, and create meaningful impact.

Job Location - Kolkata, West Bengal

(Full-time, On-site)

About the Role

We are looking for an individual who is

obsessed with markets,

someone who questions assumptions, tests new hypotheses, and is relentless about generating alpha. This is not a “button-clicking” trade execution role. We are

builders ,

experimenters , and

research-driven market practitioners . We prefer someone who tests, fails, optimizes, and rises again - a trader who thinks like a quant and executes like a professional.

This is a newly established trading desk, which means the pace is fast, the work is hands-on, and the learning curve is steep. If you enjoy chaos, love structure, can think systematically, and want to be a part of something being built from the ground up - this is for you.
