Job TitleSophisticated AI Trading Engineer – Cutting-Edge Options SystemAbout Our InitiativeWe are launching a next-generation AI-driven options trading system focused on SPX and ES 0DTE & 1DTE.Deep Technical Analysis (TA)A multi-Layered LLM “council” architecture (strategy + critic, similar to council)Real-time commercial-grade dataCross-asset and macro/event awarenessAutomated execution via TastyTrade APIsRole OverviewYou will design and implement a Smart AI trading bot that:Trades ES futures and options overnight/pre-market (approx. 6:00 PM–9:30 AM EST)Trades SPX 0DTE and 1DTE options during regular hoursUses multiple LLMs, where:One LLM proposes strategies, entries, exits, and risk parametersOne or more LLMs critique and challenge those strategies before executionIncorporates Technical Analysis, sentiment, volatility, macro events, and cross-asset flowsExecutes multiple staggered entries and exits to improve average pricesAnalyzes ES from 6 PM EST (prior evening) through 9:30 AM EST, trades ES in that window, then exits or converts ES positions into SPX after ~10:00 AM EST once opening volatility settlesTrades via TastyTrade APIs, strictly following defined risk parametersKey ResponsibilitiesMulti-Layered Strategy & Critic EngineDesign a multi-Layered “council” where:A “Strategy LLM” generates trade ideas, entries/exits, size, and risk parameters“Critic LLMs” stress-test, challenge assumptions, and flag risksImplement workflows: proposal → critique → refinement → final decision, with deterministic risk rules as guardrailsTechnical Analysis & Signal Generation (Must-Have)Build TA-based signals using:Multi-timeframe trend/momentum indicators (EMAs/SMAs, VWAP, MACD, RSI, ADX, etc.)Volatility/range tools (ATR, gaps, opening range, realized vs. implied vol)Market structure (support/resistance, liquidity zones, prior day high/low, overnight levels)Perform detailed ES trend analysis from 6 PM EST (prior evening) to 9:30 AM EST:Direction, strength, volatility, and key levelsUse that analysis to:Take ES trades between 6 PM and 9:30 AM ESTDecide whether to exit or convert ES positions into SPX 0DTE/1DTE trades after ~10 AM ESTTrade Management, Scaling & RiskImplement multiple entries and exits:Scaling into positions at predefined technical/volatility levelsLayered profit targets and stop levels to improve average pricesBuild a risk engine to:Set daily Max Loss and Max Profit as a % of portfolioStop trading once limits are hitControl max exposure, number of positions, and per-trade riskSupport user-selectable:Bias: Bullish only / Bearish only / Both waysProfiles: Conservative / Moderate / Aggressive (affects size, frequency, and risk per trade)Macro Events, News & Cross-Asset ContextTrack and integrate major events, including:FOMC, jobs data/NFP, CPI/PPI, GDP, etc.Earnings calendar (especially large index components)Important global geopolitical news impacting risk sentimentUse these events to:Adjust or pause trading around high-risk windowsFeed event context into LLMs for better decision-makingMonitor cross-asset markets that drive SPX/ES:Oil, Copper, Gold, Silver, US Dollar (DXY/FX)Detect confirmation/divergence patterns between these assets and ES/SPX, and reflect that in:Trade bias (risk-on vs risk-off)Aggressiveness of entries/exits and position sizingData, Execution & System DesignIntegrate with our commercial-grade real-time data feed for:ES, SPX, their options, and key cross-asset instrumentsBuild a robust execution layer using TastyTrade APIs:Handle order placement, modifications, cancels, fills, and error conditionsManage slippage, partial fills, and retry logicArchitect a modular system:Data ingestion → TA & signals → LLM council → risk → execution → UI/monitoringImplement monitoring, logging, and alerting for:Strategy decisions & LLM reasoning (traceability)P&L, risk, exposure, and eventsConnectivity and system health
