Block Tech is a high-paced algorithmic trading firm facilitating global decentralised trading in cryptocurrency derivatives while expanding to regulated markets.
We are growing like never before and we are looking for a Risk Analyst who wants to join us in this exciting scale-up phase!

What will you do?
As a Risk Analyst, you will take ownership of both market risk and operational risk at Block Tech in a broad sense. Your key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

Review of inadequate trades and system behaviours: Analyse issues - what went wrong, why, and what system changes are needed
Risk reporting: Identify risks that could impact Block Tech’s business processes and communicate risk and performance data to relevant stakeholders
Review exchange documentation and provide insights to the technical team from a risk perspective
Manage risk-related projects, such as connecting with new exchanges. Critically follow the development and improve products and processes on both sides
Integration for regulated markets: Oversee risk-related aspects of our integration with third parties to enter regulated markets
Analyze complex business problems and propose solutions or enhancements
Updates and process improvement: Provide clear, timely updates on planning and delivery. Monitor and manage continuous process improvements, addressing outstanding issues
Ad hoc requests: Respond to and follow up on ad hoc requests from the trading and engineering teams

In addition to managing market and operational risks, you will also work on understanding automated trading risks, measuring regulatory capital requirements, and modelling exchange margin requirements. This role requires collaboration across teams and provides a great opportunity to understand different aspects of the business.

What is in it for you?

The chance of a permanent, full-time position in a relaxed and trendy office located in Amsterdam
Competitive base salary combined with a very attractive bonus plan based on your performance as well as the company’s results
Additionally, outstanding performance is rewarded with the opportunity to buy into the trading fund
Annual Learning & Development budget of EUR 2,500
Pension plan, a laptop and reimbursement of your internet costs at home
Extensive in-house training program
Highly collaborative and experienced Scrum/Agile team
The opportunity to work at the forefront of automated trading, using state-of-the-art technology
Breakfast and warm lunch. Additionally, snacks and drinks are provided throughout the day.
Reimbursement of your gym membership and the opportunity to do all kinds of sports during working hours including kickboxing, Cross Fit, fitness, and soccer.
Regular social events, including weekly Friday drinks, monthly game nights, monthly company outings, quarterly sports competitions and bi-annual trips abroad!

Our culture
At our core, we are a dynamic team of trading and tech enthusiasts dedicated to automating the manual trading process. Our collaborative, boundary-free approach ensures that everyone contributes to achieving our ambitious goals.
In this role, you will be both challenged and stretched, with ample opportunities for growth and development, both within and beyond your main responsibilities.
We invest in our people by offering a competitive compensation and benefits package, fostering innovation, and celebrating success. Our commitment to diversity transcends traditional norms; we provide an equal playing field, promote reverse leadership, and offer boundless growth opportunities for all our employees.

You have a strong interest in financial markets and sharp analytical and problem-solving skills. Naturally curious and proactive, you can work independently but thrive in a collaborative team of other analysts, engineers and data scientists. Additionally, you meet the following qualifications:

An academic degree in Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Econometrics, Engineering, or a related field
1+ year of experience at a trading firm, hedge fund or (clearing) bank
Professional work experience with Python and SQL
A solid understanding of financial products
