Options analytics and intelligence consultancy. We combine decades of derivatives expertise with AI to build tools and solutions for volatility traders. Purpose-built by practitioners, for practitioners.
About The Role
VolFront builds volAI, a conversational AI terminal for professional options traders. Behind the chat interface is a proprietary data layer: vol surfaces, IV-by-delta, realized vol, earnings analytics, dividend forecasts, option prints, OCC volume, fundamentals, and live quotes – all produced by an in‑house fleet of data loaders. When a loader fails, traders see stale or missing data. Data freshness and correctness ARE the product – and our proprietary, in‑house data is a core competitive moat that is constantly expanding with bespoke datasets you will not find anywhere else.
What You’ll Do
- Be a primary owner of product features: Drive the design, implementation, and optimization of core features powering Volfront’s production trading terminal, ensuring they handle the high speed and data urgency of financial markets.
- Set the standard for application logic: Architect robust code solutions, establish clean API contracts, and build modular, reusable components across the stack (whether your focus leans toward responsive user interfaces or high‑performance server logic).
- Interface with the data layer: Write efficient SQL queries and interact cleanly with Volfront's high‑scale PostgreSQL data infrastructure (deep database performance tuning and vacuuming are handled; you just need to write smart, performant interactions). Operate (the floor, not the ceiling)
- Guarantee application reliability: Ensure production tools and user‑facing features perform seamlessly under market‑open pressures and high‑volume data streams.
- Direct system maintenance: Collaborate with the team to triage application‑level alerts, own root‑cause resolution for software bugs, and implement systemic engineering fixes.
