OptionMetrics

1 open role

OptionMetrics provides historical options data — the IvyDB databases — used by hedge funds, institutional investors, risk managers, and academic researchers to backtest strategies, measure volatility, and study derivatives markets. Coverage includes end-of-day prices, implied volatilities, and Greeks for US equity and index options since 1996, plus Europe, Asia-Pacific, Canada, ETFs, futures, signed volume, implied beta, and dividend forecasts (via the 2023 Woodseer acquisition). Roughly 300+ institutions worldwide rely on it, and IvyDB has become a standard dataset at major business schools. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in New York, the company has been backed by Leeds Equity Partners since 2021 and operates as a quietly profitable, niche-dominant data business rather than a venture-style growth story.
