## Job description

Vola Dynamics is the world's most sophisticated software and research company for advanced options analytics. Our volatility fitter and ultra-fast option pricers are the market standard, powering decisions at the world’s leading hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, market makers, and global banks. In this role, you'll work directly with our General Counsel, who currently runs legal, finance, HR, tax, and compliance as a one-person function, and you may also provide support to our CEO and COO. Your job is to take the repeatable, detail-heavy work off their plates and, over time, own more of it. You'll touch contracts, client billing, compliance, day-to-day operations, and the things that make this a great place to work, and you'll get broad, hands-on exposure to how a business runs. As part of a small team, you'll have real ownership from day one and your work will have an immediate and outsized impact. This is a rare seat for someone looking to take on broad ownership, grow fast, and become the person who “just handles it.” We're a mostly remote team. This role has two set in-office days each week — one in our NYC office and one in our South Norwalk, Connecticut office — to stay in close contact with the leadership team you'll support. The remaining days are remote.

## What You'll Do

- Contracts & legal ops: Intake, organize, assist with, and track client agreements; route documents for e-signature; maintain our contract database and keep renewal and obligation dates from slipping.
- Billing & revenue operations: Help run the client invoicing cycle, preparing and reconciling invoices against signed contract terms, keeping our CRM accurate, and flagging anything that doesn't tie out.
- Compliance & corporate housekeeping: Maintain compliance and entity calendars, help assemble documentation, and keep our records clean and audit-ready.
- Operations & executive support: Own recurring processes, keep projects moving, and provide scheduling, inbox, and document support so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Culture & team experience: Help make Vola a place people love working! Plan company events and look for small ways to improve everyone's day-to-day. Manage the office experience and facilitate travel arrangements for employees.
- Work smart with AI: Use modern AI tools to move faster on drafting, data entry, and research, without sacrificing accuracy or quality.
- Build, don't just do: As you learn each process, help us document and improve it so it runs reliably every time.

## Who you Are

- You have a bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience that demonstrates the same diligence and follow-through.
- You don't need years of experience. You need to be sharp, meticulous, and hungry to learn. We're open to any background, including those newer to the workforce or making a considered career change.
- You are relentlessly detail-oriented. You double-check numbers and dates because you can't stand getting them wrong, and a misquoted figure bothers you.
- You are comfortable with AI tools. As a small team, we lean on AI to work efficiently, but we hold a very high bar for accuracy and quality. You should be eager to use these tools and disciplined about verifying their output, never letting a tool's convenience become an excuse for a wrong number.
- You are a people person who cares about culture. You notice when something would make the team's day better, and you enjoy making it happen.
- You are proactive and self-directed. You spot what needs doing and do it without being asked twice.
- You are a fast, curious learner who genuinely wants to understand every part of a small business, from legal to finance to operations.
- You are a clear, concise communicator who is comfortable with numbers and documents and strong with Excel, and Google Docs.
- You are discreet and trustworthy with confidential contract, client, and financial information.
- You are authorized to work in the US.

- **Entity Type**: Private (Partnership)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2016
- **Founders**: Timothy Klassen

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services – options analytics and derivatives pricing infrastructure.
- **Target customers**: B2B; low-latency prop shops, hedge funds, banks, pension funds, and other asset managers trading global equity, futures, and index options.
- **Mission**: To offer cost-effective, drop-in replacements for critical components of options market participants’ pricing, fitting, and risk infrastructure, allowing clients to concentrate on their edge.

## Products & Services
- **Base Package (Pricer)**: Super-fast European and American vanilla options pricing with all greeks (delta, gamma, vega, volga, vanna, rho, rhoBorrow, theta, fugit), smart delta/gamma using Skew Stickiness Ratio (SSR), and accurate handling of cash dividends, large borrow costs, and term structure.
- **Fitter**: Real-time volatility surface fitting using Bayesian methods and unique parametric curves that can fit arbitrary market shapes including W-shaped skews (NVDA, TSLA, SPX) without bias. Produces arbitrage-free surfaces even in far wings. Outputs error bars based on bid-ask spreads.
- **Curves Module**: Family of nested parametric curves for intuitive manipulation of vol surface (level, skew, curvature), event modeling (earnings), and forward/dividend modeling.
- **PnL Attribution**: Greeks-based and scenario-based decomposition of P&L for vanillas and vol derivatives (VIX, var/vol swaps), breaking down vol PnL into ATF slope, curvature, and unexplained components.
- **Risk & Scenarios**: Smart greeks, scenario re-pricing, and book-level sensitivity analysis across curve types.
- **Optional Modules**: Event modeling, advanced dividend blending, and 0DTE handling.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – Not applicable (bootstrapped/partnership). Employee count: 13 (33.3% YoY growth as of mid-2025).

- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 33.3% YoY; 2 active job postings for Quant Researchers; LinkedIn followers grew 46.5% yearly; battle-tested through COVID crash (VIX >80), GameStop short squeeze (500%+ IV), negative oil prices, and 0DTE.

## Competitive Advantages
- Best-in-class vol fitter generally acknowledged as the industry standard; unique parametric curves that fit W-shaped skews (no other commercial product offers this).
- Smart delta/gamma with integrated Skew Stickiness Ratio (SSR) for realistic spot-vol dynamics.
- Bayesian filtering and error bars from bid-ask spreads provide natural “minimum edge” guidance for market makers.
- Handles extreme market conditions without manual intervention or parameter tuning.
- Full support directly from the quants who build the system; C++, Python, Java, C# APIs for easy integration.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue to be the leading independent provider of options analytics for vanilla options and vol derivatives.
- Expand capabilities in real-time fitting, PnL attribution, and event modeling.
- Grow engineering team to support increasing client demands and maintain competitive edge.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, highly technical team (13 employees) where quant researchers build and support the product directly. Emphasis on deep quantitative finance, computational numerics, and rigorous software engineering.
