The base salary range for this role is between USD 90,000 - USD 120,000 in the State of New York. This range is not inclusive of our discretionary bonus. When determining a candidate’s compensation, we consider a number of factors including skillset, experience, job scope, and current market data.

Recruitment Process

Our process is consistent across all roles and is designed to assess genuine technical depth. Candidates should expect the following stages

• Stage 3 - Onsite interview - Meet your future teammates (60 mins)
• Stage 4 - Final interview - Meet the Global Head of Trading Ops (30 mins)

On the agenda, discussions rather than trick questions! These moments of exchange will allow you to understand how Flowdesk works and its values. But they are also (and above all) an opportunity for you to present your career path and your expectations for your next job!

We are committed to an inclusive and accessible recruitment process. If you require any reasonable adjustments or have specific needs to enable you to participate fully in the interview or assessment process (e.g., a sign language interpreter, extra time for a test, or an accessible location), please contact us to discuss how we can support you.
