About the role
As our first trading Surveillance Analyst, you will be a founding member of the DCM's market regulation function. You will monitor trading activity on the exchange, investigate alerts, and help build the surveillance program, procedures and tooling we launch with. This role starts hands-on and detail-heavy. As the exchange goes live and the team grows, there is a clear path to more complex investigations and team leadership. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2–5+ years in trade or market surveillance at an exchange or regulator (e.g., DCM, national securities exchage, CFTC, SEC, NFA, or FINRA) strongly preferred, trading compliance experience at an FCM, broker-dealer, or trading firm strongly considered
- Hands-on experience investigating surveillance alerts, ideally in Nasdaq SMARTS or a comparable platform (Eventus Validus, TT Score, NICE Actimize, Solidus, b-next)
- Working knowledge of manipulative and disruptive trading patterns and how to evidence them
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication. You will deal directly with external FCMs and clearing members
- Strong attention to detail and disciplined documentation habits
- Comfort with ambiguity, shifting priorities and building process where none exists yet
