Trading Operations Specialist - remote job

Eqvilent is hiring a Trading Operations Specialist. The role sits in Other jobs and is fully remote. The company places no restriction on where the candidate lives, so you can apply from anywhere.

The employer did not publish a figure; that is settled at interview. The advert names the UTC timezone, so working hours have to be agreed against your own.

This vacancy passed an automated check: the list excludes any advert requiring a foreign work permit, visa sponsorship, a particular citizenship, or residence in a specific country.

We are looking for a Trading Operations Specialist to support our algorithmic trading activities. Your main responsibility will be to ensure that trading runs smoothly, reliably, and safely, through careful execution of operational checks, real-time monitoring, and timely escalation. This is a hands-on role, not a management track - ideal for someone detail-oriented, disciplined, and motivated to work in a regulated algo-trading environment

What You’ll Be Doing:

* Capacity planning

* Execute pre- and post-session checks to confirm system readiness and close out procedures

* Monitor intrasession invariants (positions, connectivity, latency, market data consistency, error rates) and promptly escalate deviations

* Follow escalation procedures to involve the right people at the right time when anomalies arise

* Contribute to continuous improvement of anomaly detection quality, incident reaction times, and communication efficiency

* Keep accurate operational records and logs for auditability and learning

* Shift-based schedule, ensuring reliable coverage across required trading hours.

What We Look For In You:

* Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)

* 3 years in trading operations, trade support, or market surveillance (experience in algo/electronic trading is a plus, but not required)

* Solid understanding of how financial markets and trading systems operate

* High attention to detail and ability to stay calm under pressure

* Comfortable following structured procedures while also spotting where they can be improved

* Clear communicator in English, able to escalate effectively and work with multidisciplinary teams

Why Should You Join Our Team?

* Work at the intersection of algorithmic trading and regulated European markets (MiFID license)

* Join an international team of highly qualified professionals

* Cutting-edge hardware and technology

* Work remotely from a location within the UTC−11 to UTC−4 time zone range

* Access any of our global offices anytime

* Flexible schedule

* 40 paid days off

* Competitive salary
