Over the next year, we are doubling down on our risk infrastructure as we expand into DeFi integrations, onboard institutional crypto clients, and introduce new asset classes and structured products. This role provides a unique opportunity to lead 0-to-1 product development such as building multi-stress testing frameworks across different assets while scaling our foundational system. You will be tasked with applying traditional finance (TradFi) risk principles to a modern, 24/7 real-time crypto market environment. Key Responsibilities
Own the Risk Roadmap: Drive the product vision and strategy for the Risk domain, balancing the scaling of existing systems with the creation of entirely new 0-to-1 features. Product Execution: Write comprehensive specs, PRDs, and business statements. Translate complex risk, mathematical, and traditional finance concepts into clear, actionable technical requirements. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineers, as well as key stakeholders across Risk and Product leadership, to ensure real-time systems are robust, responsive, and secure. Data & Analytics: Independently leverage SQL to write queries, manipulate datasets, and build rapid dashboards.

Risk Domain Expertise: 2-5 years of direct experience in the risk space. Must have a deep understanding of derivatives, structured products (OTC, TRS), and how portfolio managers assess risk limits and Greeks. Technical Proficiency: While you don't need to write code (Python) or design distributed systems, you must be technical enough to understand APIs and work seamlessly with engineers. Strong SQL skills are a hard requirement. Trading Knowledge: Professional or active personal trading experience in cryptocurrency or other asset classes. Deep understanding of trading market structures is mandatory. Institutional Background: Proven experience building institutional-grade trading tools and services.
