What you need
- Prior experience in trading operations, execution, or production support at a proprietary trading firm, market maker, or similar high-frequency environment

- Comfortable operating under pressure during live market hours, including trading halts and reconciliations
Nice to have
- Experience investigating execution or system performance (latency analysis, timeline tracing across systems) is a strong plus

- Experience mentoring or training junior team members
Worth weighing
- No salary listed
