About the role

View original

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

  • • Work in a shift-based schedule covering European trading hours, ensuring reliable market coverage.

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 anywhere in the world

  • • Access any of our global offices anytime

  • • Flexible schedule

  • • 40 paid days off

  • • Competitive salary

One address, no account. We’ll tell you when matching roles go live.
