• Run stress tests and scenario analysis across a broad range of market environments.
• Contribute risk expertise to product onboarding, listing evaluations, and periodic reviews of key risk settings such as haircuts, margin requirements, liquidation thresholds, index prices, funding rates, and position caps.
• Study market microstructure in multi-asset derivatives markets and update risk models as conditions change.
• Help build and maintain internal dashboards and analytical systems used for risk monitoring.

• A master's degree or PhD in a quantitative field such as mathematics, physics, statistics, engineering, computer science, financial engineering, or quantitative finance.
• Strong ability to work with Python, SQL, and/or noSQL data structures, data models, and database management.
• Solid understanding of derivative pricing theory across both traditional and digital asset markets.
• Deep knowledge of order book behavior using L1-L3 data and cross-/portfolio-margining methods, including spot-versus-futures offsetting.
• Strong familiarity with equities, commodities, macro assets, and the broader development of these markets, along with experience in futures, perpetuals, or similar derivatives.
• Direct trading exposure, either personal or professional, is preferred, especially with margin concepts and liquidation mechanics.

Benefits and culture

• Competitive compensation.
• Generous annual leave, including time off for your birthday and work anniversary.
