Once here, you will
Make inter-dealer markets in corporate securities as part of Atomic's broker-dealer trading desk. You'll be responsible for quoting, executing, and managing risk on corporate bond and equity positions in the inter-dealer market, working directly with counterparties to source liquidity and facilitate trades. As Atomic builds out its trading and financing capabilities, you'll help establish the day-to-day trading practices, counterparty relationships, and workflows the desk runs on.
What we are looking for

Deep understanding and application of Reg NMS, SHO and related regulations
Possess ability to navigate and use Exchange systems as it relates to high-touch trading, market making, and risk management.
Demonstrated experience quoting two-sided markets (bid/offer) and managing the resulting inventory risk, not just working client agency orders
Experience trading directly with inter-dealer brokers (IDBs) matching platforms — voice, or electronic IDB platforms ) — sourcing and providing liquidity across the street
Solid understanding of trade reporting, settlement mechanics, and the regulatory rules governing inter-dealer trading (FINRA, CAT reporting, best execution)
Must have three to five years direct experience in market making, and proprietary trading for a broker-dealer in corporate securities
Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where processes are still being built out
Ideal candidates will also have:
