What You’ll Do

  • Develop and continuously improve risk and surveillance strategies for identifying abusive or manipulative activity across spot, perpetual futures, options, and related trading products.
  • Investigate potentially coordinated or suspicious trading activity using order-flow analysis, self-trading and crossing behaviours, order-book signals, and account-linkage indicators.
  • Define behavioural patterns for new or evolving manipulation methods, particularly in thinly traded assets, leveraged instruments, and liquidation-driven market events.
  • Assess the impact of identified risks, including possible market disruption, financial exposure, and concentration of risk, to inform prioritisation and leadership reporting.
  • Partner with Product, Compliance, and other relevant teams to design, test, and implement appropriate monitoring rules and risk controls.
  • Collaborate with data scientists and analysts to translate trading-risk concepts into effective detection logic, models, and monitoring workflows.

What You Bring

  • Practical experience trading or managing risk in derivatives, with strong knowledge of futures, perpetual swaps, and options.
  • Solid understanding of leverage, margin requirements, liquidation processes, insurance-fund structures, and auto-deleveraging mechanisms.
  • Demonstrated experience in trading-risk management, market surveillance, or preventing market-abuse activity such as spoofing, layering, wash trading, front-running, or misuse of privileged information.
  • Strong analytical ability; advanced SQL skills are essential, and Python experience is highly desirable.
  • Ability to independently create and validate detection approaches using order-level and trade-level data.
  • A mindset that anticipates how bad actors may build positions, obscure their behaviour, and exploit market or product mechanics.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background in market surveillance, trading risk, or market-conduct roles at a digital-asset exchange, brokerage, or trading venue.
  • Active derivatives-trading experience or a demonstrable quantitative trading record.
  • Familiarity with conventional financial-market abuse regulations, surveillance frameworks, or vendor platforms.
  • Knowledge of blockchain analytics and on-chain transaction tracing.
  • Experience using graph analysis or entity-resolution methods to uncover coordinated account networks and fund flows.
  • Familiarity with market-quality and anomaly indicators, such as VPIN and HHI.
