  • Design optimal automated liquidation logic and algorithms to balance market risk with market impact during extreme volatility.
  • Perform scenario analysis and stress testing across a range of market conditions.
  • Provide risk input into product onboarding, listing reviews, and regular risk parameter reviews: haircuts, margin levels, liquidation thresholds, index pricing, funding rates, and position limits.
  • Analyze market microstructure on multi-asset derivative markets, periodically review and calibrate risk models according to evolving market conditions.
  • Support the build and maintenance of internal risk dashboards and analytical tools.

  • Proficient in Python and SQL or noSQL data structures, data models, and database management.
  • Strong understanding of derivatives pricing theory across traditional and digital asset classes.
  • Deep understanding of Order Book Dynamics (L1-L3 data) and Cross/Portfolio-Margining methodologies (e.g., offsetting spot against futures).
  • Deep knowledge of equities, commodity products, macro assets, and ongoing developments in these spaces; thoroughly familiar with futures, perpetuals, or other derivative types.
  • Direct trading experience (personal or professional) is highly ideal, with a deep familiarity with margin concepts and liquidation mechanisms.
