• Statistical and mathematical reasoning to evaluate strategies.
• Review backtest results and support forward testing, and live deployment of algo strategies.
• Work with developers to convert strategy logic into executable systems.
• Identify risks such as overfitting, slippage, tail risk, regime dependence, and execution constraints.

Required Skills

• Experience in Nifty, Bank Nifty, or Sensex derivatives.
• Strong understanding of options, payoff structures, probability, drawdowns, and risk management.
• Experience using backtesting platforms is required.
• Ability to convert market behaviour into structured, testable trading logic.
• Basic coding knowledge is preferred but not mandatory.
