Job Description & How to Apply Below
We are looking for a Trading Operations Specialist to support our algorithmic trading activities. Your main responsibility will be to ensure that trading runs smoothly, reliably, and safely, through careful execution of operational checks, real-time monitoring, and timely escalation. This is a hands‑on role, not a management track - ideal for someone detail-oriented, disciplined, and motivated to work in a regulated algo-trading environment
What You’ll Be Doing:- Execute pre‑and post‑session checks to confirm system readiness and close out procedures
- Monitor intrasession in variants (positions, connectivity, latency, market data consistency, error rates) and promptly elevate deviations
- Follow escalation procedures to involve the right people at the right time when anomalies arise
- Contribute to continuous improvement of anomaly detection quality, incident reaction times, and communication efficiency
- Keep accurate operational records and logs for auditability and learning
- Shift‑based schedule, ensuring reliable coverage across required trading hours.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 3 years in trading operations, trade support, or market surveillance (experience in algo/electronic trading is a plus, but not required)
- Solid understanding of how financial markets and trading systems operate
- High attention to detail and ability to stay calm under pressure
- Comfortable following structured procedures while also spotting where they can be improved
- Clear communicator in English, able to elevate effectively and work with multidisciplinary teams
- Join an international team of highly qualified professionals
- Work remotely from an eligible location within the UTC−11 to UTC−5 time zone range.
