Farther's asset management team (FAM) manages a growing suite of systematic investment strategies — and we're expanding into options-based overlays. We're looking for a quantitatively-minded Investment Associate who can help design, research, and build out this capability from the ground up.

This isn't a seat where you'll be handed a mandate and left to trade. You'll work closely with experienced PMs across equity and fixed income to apply derivatives-based overlays across those strategies — covered calls, collars, protective puts — and use Python to research and systematize everything you build. Over time, you'll be a key voice in translating that work into a scalable platform alongside our product and engineering teams.

Research, prototype, and back test options overlay strategies in Python — covered calls, cash-secured puts, collars, and protective overlays — with realistic assumptions for transaction costs, liquidity, and taxes across SMA accounts

Support PMs across equity and fixed income verticals by designing and applying derivatives-based overlays suited to each asset class

Monitor portfolio-level Greeks, exposures, and risk/return outcomes across many smaller accounts within rules-based risk parameters
