Who We Are

BONG SCALPER
is a technology-driven research and development firm focused on building advanced
quantitative trading algorithms
, high-frequency analytical engines, and institutional-grade decision systems. Our proprietary platform,
OptiXen
, operates round-the-clock across leading Indian indices and 250+ blue-chip stocks, generating
Quant-Powered Research, Tactical Signals & Execution-Ready Recommendations
for institutional market participants.

Our culture thrives on
innovation, rigorous research, data-first decision making, operational discipline, and absolute transparency
. We empower our team with autonomy, a fail-fast mindset, and the freedom to experiment, iterate, and create meaningful impact.

Job Location - Kolkata, West Bengal
(Full-time, On-site)

About the Role

We are looking for an individual who is
obsessed with markets,
someone who questions assumptions, tests new hypotheses, and is relentless about generating alpha. This is
not
a "button-clicking" trade execution role. We are
builders
,
experimenters
, and
research-driven market practitioners
. We prefer someone who tests, fails, optimizes, and rises again - a trader who thinks like a quant and executes like a professional.

This is a newly established trading desk, which means the pace is fast, the work is hands-on, and the learning curve is steep. If you enjoy chaos, love structure, can think systematically, and want to be a part of something being built from the ground up - this is for you.

Qualifications & Skills

  1. 2–3 years of experience
    in Equity & Derivatives Research and Live Execution in Indian Markets, with
    relevant NISM certifications
    .
  2. Demonstrated
    P&L performance
    , showcasing healthy win rates, risk-adjusted returns, and discipline.
  3. Strong familiarity with
    Market, Limit, GTT, Bracket Orders
    using retail brokers (Zerodha, Dhan, Groww, etc.) and
    Institutional terminals
    (ODIN, NEST, Greek, etc.).
  4. Hands-on experience in
    technical research & strategy development
    , especially on
    NIFTY50, BANKNIFTY, and MIDCAPNIFTY
    .
  5. Solid understanding of
    Risk Management
    across Cash and Derivatives; must maintain detailed journals and track plan-vs-execution deviations.
  6. Thorough knowledge of
    F&O mechanics
    — Greeks, volatility modelling, margin frameworks, premiums/discounts, expiry dynamics, and lot structures.
  7. Ability to think quantitatively;
    basic proficiency in Python/Data Engineering
    is a strong plus.

Roles & Responsibilities

  1. Continuously monitor
    price action, volumes, derivatives data, and market internals
    across multiple instruments using advanced charting tools.
  2. Execute OptiXen-generated recommendations with
    high accuracy and minimal latency
    .
  3. Manage watchlists, key levels, and dynamic conditions as per OptiXen signals and internal frameworks.
  4. Maintain daily
    trade journals, contract note reconciliations, and performance reviews
    .
  5. Stay updated on global and domestic
    macro/micro events
    impacting market structure and volatility.
  6. Identify emerging patterns, study execution outcomes, and provide
    data-driven insights
    to the OptiXen product & research team for continuous system refinement.
