Trading Analyst (Python)

Maven Securities is a proprietary trading firm focused on improving liquidity across global listed derivatives through trading, technology, and research. The Trading Analyst will analyze trading data, collaborate with traders to prototype and test strategies, and build scripts, dashboards, and automated workflows to improve trading decisions and desk efficiency.

What you'll do:

• Digging into trading data, surfacing patterns, and producing analysis the desk can act on
• Working directly with traders to prototype ideas, test hypotheses, and iterate on strategies
• Building scripts, dashboards, and automated workflows that make the desk smarter over time
• Framing trading problems in ways that get the most out of our tooling
• Spotting operational improvements, data anomalies, and strategy refinements — and bringing them to the desk

What they're looking for:

• You enjoy deep analysis of problems and get energized by questions you don't yet know how to answer
• You don't trust an output just because it looks polished — you verify and iterate
• You're comfortable testing ideas under uncertainty
• You explain complex things clearly
• Strong Python — you can write it, read it, debug it, and confidently review code
• Solid numerical and analytical skills — comfortable with statistical reasoning and data interpretation
• SQL, or the willingness to learn it quickly
• Some experience with AI tools for analysis, coding, or research — we don't expect mastery, but you should have been experimenting
• Interested in financial markets, derivatives, and how markets work
• You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
• You make the people around you more effective
• You're adaptable — the tools and landscape shift constantly
