Senior Systematic Trader — U.S. Equities — Chicago

The opening is designed for Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules.

Compensation and Benefits

About the Role

The Chicago, IL position owns live strategy supervision, exposure limits, execution review, incident response, and controlled production experiments. Its working schedule covers Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

Chicago Operating Focus

The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation. The Central Time window connects overnight futures behavior, the equity open, listed-derivative activity, and the afternoon cash close in one working day. The role must separate information that transfers across instruments from relationships that only appear during a short regime. Any production response needs an owner, a limit, and a review time. For this role, that means direct ownership of live equity exposure, execution quality, escalation, and post-trade review during Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules.

First Review Cycle

The initial Chicago, IL review combines Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules with a controlled examination of live equity exposure, execution quality, escalation, and post-trade review. Each material observation needs a source, a time, and a defined owner. The first evidence set will cover this task: Work with research on production experiments and post-trade review. The second will cover this task: Monitor strategies, exposures, limits, and execution quality. The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation. Each material deviation receives a named follow-up owner. The closing summary must show whether the evidence supports a change or only further study. It must let another specialist evaluate live strategy supervision, exposure limits, execution review, incident response, and controlled production experiments without private context.
