Over time, you will gain exposure across Futures, Options, FX, CFDs, and Equities while helping shape the next generation of risk management systems.

• Help drive the department towards scalable and fully automated processes

3) Apply AI to Real Business Problems

• Develop AI-assisted workflows, reporting tools, and intelligent monitoring systems
• Gain exposure to emerging technologies including Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agents, and Agentic AI frameworks
• Evaluate and prototype new AI use cases for risk management and operations

4) Enhance Internal Systems

• Maintain and improve internally developed tools and applications
• Troubleshoot and optimize existing automation programs
• Contribute to the long-term sustainability of the department’s technology initiatives

5) Drive Innovation

• Identify opportunities where technology can create meaningful business value
• Recommend and implement improvements to operational and risk management processes
• Participate in projects involving data analytics, automation, and AI adoption

• Diploma or Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Business Analytics, Information Systems, Mathematics, or related disciplines
• Strong interest in automation, AI, technology, and financial markets
• Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages
• Familiarity with AI tools, prompt engineering, automation platforms, or machine learning concepts is advantageous
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Curious mindset with a willingness to learn and experiment
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders
• Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply.

Work Arrangement

• Rotation between shifts when required
• Availability to support operations on public holidays when required
