Trading Operations Specialist

TLDR

Support algorithmic trading operations by ensuring smooth execution and monitoring for anomaly detection in a regulated environment with a focus on continuous improvement.

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
