What You’ll Do

-

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.

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.

Ability to independently create and validate detection approaches using order-level and trade-level data.
