Trader

Overview

Models talk about markets like a textbook and trade like they've never been filled: a strategy that ignores the bid-ask, a hedge that's wrong by a Greek, position sizing with no respect for slippage or where the liquidity actually is. Someone has to know how the trade behaves when real size hits the tape, and that someone is you.

As a Trader you'll evaluate AI reasoning about markets, execution, and strategy, check the mechanics that only show up on a live desk, and write the judgments that teach models how trading actually works.

What you’ll actually do

• Evaluate AI trading strategies: the edge, the risk, and whether it survives real execution.
• Check the market mechanics: spreads, slippage, hedging, and the liquidity assumptions the model glosses over.
• Write the desk-grade answer when the model falls short, with the risk and execution detail a live book demands.
