About The Position

We are looking for a highly analytical, tech-forward Market / Trade Surveillance Manager to join our surveillance and monitoring team. Unlike a traditional "paper-pushing" compliance role, this is a deeply technical position designed for someone who enjoys working within modern software stacks and tools to ensure market integrity. The successful candidate will be the "power user" of our surveillance ecosystem, responsible for the day-to-day operation of our monitoring tools and maintaining our high standards with US regulators.

Requirements

• Market Knowledge: Deep understanding of the specific asset classes traded, such as digital assets or event/prediction markets.
• CFTC Environment: 3–7 years of experience within a CFTC-regulated entity (DCM, DCO, SEF, or FCM).
• Platform Expertise: Direct, hands-on experience using Eventus (Validus) for trade surveillance is mandatory.
• Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with Scilla (for smart contract/technical monitoring) and a strong comfort level with data-heavy environments.
• Tech-Savvy Mindset: You should be a "digitally native" professional who prefers automated workflows over manual spreadsheets. Familiarity with SQL or basic data visualization is a major plus. AI expertise is a must.
• US Regulatory Knowledge: Deep familiarity with the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and core CFTC compliance principles.
• Certifications: Professional certifications Series 3 is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Trade Surveillance Execution: Perform real-time monitoring of all exchange activity, security feeds, and product safety data to identify potential market abuse (wash trading, spoofing, etc.) and ensure price discovery is fair and not manipulated
• Investigative Management: Manage investigations into potential market manipulation and analyze evidence, auditing reports, and managing team caseloads.
• Settlement Oversight: Monitor trade activity to prevent disruption of cash settlement processes and ensure participants hold adequate margin and that large positions do not threaten clearing stability.
• Tool Management (Eventus & Scilla): Act as the primary administrator and lead analyst for Eventus Validus. You will also utilize Scilla to monitor and audit technical compliance workflows and automated transaction logs.
• Alert Optimization: Regularly tune surveillance parameters and "logic" within Eventus to reduce false positives while ensuring 100% capture of suspicious activity.
• Market Risk Monitoring: Monitor real-time market data to ensure participant compliance with margin requirements and position limits.
• Regulatory Reporting: Assist in the preparation of weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports for the CFTC and NFA.
• Audit Support: Serve as a technical subject matter expert during regulatory examinations, demonstrating the efficacy of our monitoring tools and data integrity.
• Policy & Documentation: Draft and maintain policies and procedures, maintain audit trails, and manage trade data records.
• Team Leadership & Mentoring: Hiring, training, and providing feedback to a team of analysts, investigators, and surveillance technicians.
