About the team & role

As a Markets and Risk Operations Specialist, you will be instrumental in managing and mitigating market risks associated with spot and derivatives trading for the Bitstamp by Robinhood business (BbRH). Your experience in derivatives risk management and understanding of regulatory environments will help us serve global institutional and retail clients through effective risk management.
