With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.

• 10+ years of experience in a senior trading or trading-adjacent role with a deep focus on OTC derivatives (e.g., IR Swaps, FX Forwards/Options, Structured Products).
• Experience building a crypto derivatives trading desk or leading trading-related infrastructure projects from the ground up. Past experience leading large-scale regulatory or infrastructure projects for a trading business is strongly preferred.

• Deep familiarity with derivatives legal frameworks (ISDA/CSA) and the regulatory landscape for derivatives trading.
• Demonstrated experience working effectively across multiple departments (Legal, Compliance, Risk, Operations, Technology) to deliver complex projects.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to dive deep into details (like reporting requirements) while maintaining a strategic perspective.
• Experience in both traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets
• A Master's degree in a quantitative field such as Financial Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline is highly preferred.
• Relevant FINRA registrations (Series 7, 63, 24) are a strong plus.
