Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, finance, and compliance teams to ensure auditability, operational integrity, and regulatory alignment.

Drive research into emerging protocols, derivatives, and venues to expand trading capabilities and identify high-impact opportunities.

Maintain and enhance real-time monitoring tools, dashboards, and alert systems leveraging APIs and on-chain data.

Qualifications

3–7+ years in trading operations, risk, or portfolio management roles within hedge funds, crypto-native firms, or institutional trading environments.

Proven leadership and team management experience in a fast-paced, high-stakes setting.

Deep expertise in financial markets with strong knowledge of derivatives (futures, options, swaps), crypto markets, and DeFi protocols.

Proficiency with trading infrastructure, including OMS/EMS platforms, blockchain explorers, and reconciliation tools.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to distill complex concepts into clear insights.

Strong operational acumen with a track record of building scalable systems and processes in high-growth or startup environments.

Comfort working in a decentralized, remote-first environment with a proactive and adaptable mindset.
