Role Overview: We’re looking for a Central Execution Trader to join our Singapore team and become a key player on the Central Trading Desk. This team interfaces with, and acts as the communication hub for all brokers and exchanges on behalf of the firm externally, as well as technology, quantitative researchers, risk management, compliance, and business development teams internally. In this role, you’ll be building and refining systems that keep our live trading running flawlessly.

Key Responsibilities
- Own one or more markets and the day-to-day execution and operational health of the live strategies in them.

- Act as the first line of defense for alerts, order rejects and outages in those markets, and as the primary contact for brokers and exchanges on live issues. Diagnose the issue, contain the impact and hand the root cause to the owning quant or technology team.
- Build and enhance real-time monitoring and safety tooling for live and post-trade environments.
- Design checks that detect abnormal order flow, position and PnL moves, and surface them to the desk in time to act.
- Work on live data from the firm's trading systems and from brokers, and take the tooling from idea to production on the desk.
- Communicate clearly on incidents, resolutions, and process improvements with cross-functional teams, ensuring zero ambiguity.
