We strive to be the most innovative firm in the industry today, tomorrow, and long into the future while upholding ethical excellence. We believe that CTC makes a positive impact on the markets, the lives of our employees, and all the communities to which we belong. Started in 1995 by a team of forward-thinking Traders, we are proud to call ourselves an industry leader that keeps making markets and each other better.

We are seeking an open outcry market making trader on the MIAX Sapphire floor. You will be challenged each day to provide elite liquidity in a competitive environment. You will be backed by CTC’s world-class pricing, technology, and market making team. You will use your execution skills to identify opportunities and make independent trading decisions on behalf of the team.   

The shift runs from 8:30 am-4:30 pm ET (trading hours 9:30 am-4:15pm), Monday to Friday. The successful candidate will undergo training to master CTC’s proprietary technology and trading strategy. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Make reliable, quality markets and provide top-tier liquidity across multiple products 
  • Leverage strong trading acumen and operational excellence to make profitable decisions while minimizing risk of errors
  • Foster and navigate broker and other market maker relationships
  • Communicate opportunities and trade information to CTC market making desks
  • Continuously adapt trading strategy based on market environment and results 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Active SIE/Series 57 certification
  • At least 6 months floor options market making experience
  • Strong, independent judgement under pressure
  • Ability to navigate complex relationships
  • Proactive and clear communication skills 
  • Sound operational skillset
  • Ability to prioritize the most important thing at any given moment 

Compensation

The salary range for this role is listed below. This role is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. The discretionary bonus will be dependent upon the individual’s skills, experience, qualifications, and firm performance. 

Salary Range
$175,000—$200,000 USD

Most teams at CTC, with the exception of Trading, follow a hybrid workplace model, subject to change based on business need.

Our Benefits 

We strongly believe in the well-being of our employees and their families so we offer outstanding benefits to support you both professionally and personally. These benefits include generous time off, insurance coverage, paid parental leave, free breakfast and lunch (plus healthy snacks, of course), wellness reimbursement, and a variety of other benefits focused on providing the best employee experience. 

(Disclaimer: interns and contractors are not eligible for benefits at CTC)
