About Risk & Compliance Roles
Risk professionals at HFT and quantitative trading firms monitor, measure, and manage the financial and operational risks inherent in high-speed, high-volume trading. They develop risk frameworks, implement real-time risk controls, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Responsibilities include building risk models and dashboards, monitoring intraday exposure limits, stress-testing portfolios, and working with regulators and exchanges.
Candidates typically have backgrounds in finance, mathematics, or engineering, with familiarity with financial instruments, market structure, and relevant regulations such as MiFID II and Dodd-Frank.
