Our nimble organizational structure and entrepreneurial spirit attract top-tier talent with a passion for innovation, laying the foundation and driving our consistent success in the industry.
Role

- Vigilantly manage intraday risk profiles and accumulated positions.
- Work in tandem with overnight trading teams to refine and validate our trading models.
- Assess trading system performance.
- Prioritize trading objectives and document evolving trading methodologies.
- Collaborate with our software development team to oversee the deployment of innovative dashboards and analytical tools.
What You'll Need:
- A bachelor’s degree in a related field.
- Ideally minimum 2 years of successful experience in a trading role, specifically in the FX or FI markets.
- Strong understanding of the fundamentals that drive both FX and FI market behavior.
- Proficiency in designing and executing trading and hedging strategies based on detailed market analysis.
- Exceptional leadership skills, complemented by a robust work ethic, organizational finesse, and analytical rigor.
- Professional poise and excellent interpersonal communication abilities.
- A performance-driven mindset, resilience under high-pressure scenarios, and the judgment to make informed decisions.
- Familiarity with proprietary trading platforms is preferred.
- Coding experience would be a significant asset, although not mandatory.
