About the role
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:
Capacity planning
Execute pre- and post-session checks to confirm system readiness and close out procedures
Monitor intrasession invariants (positions, connectivity, latency, market data consistency, error rates) and promptly escalate 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.
What We Look For In You:
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 escalate effectively and work with multidisciplinary teams
Why Should You Join Our Team?
Work at the intersection of algorithmic trading and regulated European markets (MiFID license)
Join an international team of highly qualified professionals
Cutting-edge hardware and technology
Work remotely from a location within the UTC−11 to UTC−4 time zone range
Access any of our global offices anytime
Flexible schedule
40 paid days off
Competitive salary
