Full-time
Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates
About Us
- Develop and continuously improve risk and surveillance strategies for identifying abusive or manipulative activity across spot, perpetual futures, options, and related trading products.
- Investigate potentially coordinated or suspicious trading activity using order-flow analysis, self-trading and crossing behaviours, order-book signals, and account-linkage indicators.
- Define behavioural patterns for new or evolving manipulation methods, particularly in thinly traded assets, leveraged instruments, and liquidation-driven market events.
- Assess the impact of identified risks, including possible market disruption, financial exposure, and concentration of risk, to inform prioritisation and leadership reporting.
- Partner with Product, Compliance, and other relevant teams to design, test, and implement appropriate monitoring rules and risk controls.
- Collaborate with data scientists and analysts to translate trading-risk concepts into effective detection logic, models, and monitoring workflows.
- Practical experience trading or managing risk in derivatives, with strong knowledge of futures, perpetual swaps, and options.
- Solid understanding of leverage, margin requirements, liquidation processes, insurance-fund structures, and auto-deleveraging mechanisms.
- Demonstrated experience in trading-risk management, market surveillance, or preventing market-abuse activity such as spoofing, layering, wash trading, front-running, or misuse of privileged information.
- Strong analytical ability; advanced SQL skills are essential, and Python experience is highly desirable.
- Ability to independently create and validate detection approaches using order-level and trade-level data.
- A mindset that anticipates how bad actors may build positions, obscure their behaviour, and exploit market or product mechanics.
- Background in market surveillance, trading risk, or market-conduct roles at a digital-asset exchange, brokerage, or trading venue.
- Active derivatives-trading experience or a demonstrable quantitative trading record.
- Familiarity with conventional financial-market abuse regulations, surveillance frameworks, or vendor platforms.
