Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct real-time monitoring of exchange trading activity, market depth, and abnormal order flows to detect market abuse, spoofing, layering, and wash trading.
• Oversee collateral health, margin requirements, mark prices, and automated liquidation mechanisms during periods of extreme market volatility.

• Monitor counterparty exposure, clearing settlement, and balance discrepancies across internal omnibus wallets and liquidity providers.
• Design, calibrate, and backtest operational risk alert rules, liquidation thresholds, and circuit-breaker triggers.
• Collaborate closely with Trading Operations, Technology, Compliance, and Quant teams during platform incidents, price feed anomalies, or execution bottlenecks.
• Investigate risk incidents, bad debt occurrences, or slippage events to produce root-cause analyses and remediation workflows.
• Support compliance with regulatory risk management guidelines (e.g., MAS Technology and Operational Risk requirements).

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.
• Strong understanding of exchange mechanics, order types, matching engines, perpetual contracts, and margin/liquidation systems.
• Proficiency in querying and analyzing trading telemetry using SQL, Python, or data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI).
• High calm-under-pressure capability to make sound risk decisions during fast-moving market swings.
• Willingness to support rotational on-call coverage or shift schedules in line with a 24/7 global trading ecosystem.

• Competitive monthly base salary ranging from SGD 5,000 to SGD 8,000, tailored to technical depth and asset class expertise.
• Confidential consultation on high-growth exchange operations and risk roles in Singapore.
• Hands-on exposure to institutional-grade execution venues, sophisticated financial instruments, and algorithmic risk automation.
