About Flowdesk

At Flowdesk, we are building the infrastructure powering the next era of global finance. As a full-service digital asset trading and technology firm, we provide liquidity solutions, OTC trading, and market infrastructure that connect digital assets to global markets with institutional-grade precision, transparency, and scale. Flowdesk combines expertise from traditional finance, algorithmic trading, and blockchain technology to deliver always-on trading capabilities across the digital asset ecosystem.

Founded in 2020, we are a global team supporting institutions, exchanges, and token issuers to enable a tokenized financial markets ecosystem.

Why join Flowdesk? You'll be joining a company operating at the intersection of finance, technology, and crypto; solving complex market problems, building critical infrastructure, and helping shape how digital assets connect to global liquidity. We move fast, think long term, and work with a strong ownership mindset across engineering, trading, product, operations, and business teams.

Role Description

The OTC Derivatives desk runs Flowdesk's crypto derivatives trading. The desk prices and manages options books across major digital assets, provides liquidity on exchanges and to OTC counterparties, and works closely with the Engineering teams to build and improve the pricing, hedging, and risk tooling that supports it.

We are hiring a Junior Options Trader to join either the Singapore OR NYC desk. You will help run the day-to-day options book: monitoring Greeks and exposures, executing hedges, quoting clients, and tracking P&L. You will report to the Head of OTC Derivatives Trading and work alongside quants and engineers to sharpen trading strategies and automate desk workflows.

This is a hands-on role with real risk responsibility from early on, operating in a 24/7 market. It suits someone with solid options fundamentals who wants to grow quickly in digital asset derivatives.

Monitor and report daily P&L, attributing performance to Greeks, volatility moves, and flow

Work with the Quant and Engineering teams to test, refine, and automate pricing, hedging, and risk tools

Follow internal risk controls and compliance procedures, escalating limit breaches and operational issues promptly
