Requirements:

• Degree or Diploma in Finance, Financial Engineering, Economics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.

• Minimum 2 to 5 years of direct experience in risk operations, trade surveillance, middle office, or market risk within an exchange (crypto, FX, equities, or futures), market maker, or proprietary trading firm.
