Senior Trading Risk Control Specialist

About the Role
As a key member of the team, you will develop and continuously enhance risk and surveillance strategies to identify abusive or manipulative activity across various trading products, including spot, perpetual futures, and options. Your responsibilities will encompass investigating coordinated or suspicious trading activities, defining behavioral patterns for emerging manipulation methods, and assessing the impact of identified risks to inform prioritization and leadership reporting. Additionally, you will collaborate with product and compliance teams, and work with data scientists to translate trading-risk concepts into effective detection logic and workflows.

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 behaviors, order-book signals, and account-linkage indicators.
• Define behavioral 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 prioritization 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.

What You Bring

• 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 behavior, and exploit market or product mechanics.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.
• Knowledge of blockchain analytics and on-chain transaction tracing.
• Experience using graph analysis or entity-resolution methods to uncover coordinated account networks and fund flows.
• Familiarity with market-quality and anomaly indicators, such as VPIN and HHI.
