What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced, remote role focused on derivatives market surveillance and risk monitoring. I thrive in rotation shifts across EU-timezone hours, and I’ll apply my discipline in margin/leverage mechanics and pattern-based incident thinking.

I’m a finance professional with a Master’s degree in Finance and 5+ years of hands-on experience in cryptocurrency and derivatives markets since 2020. I actively trade and analyze crypto spot and derivatives (futures/margin), building practical expertise in leverage, margin, and liquidation mechanics.

I focus on market surveillance and pattern recognition, using technical/chart analysis across multiple timeframes to track trends, volatility shifts, and unusual activity. I work to distinguish organic price action from manipulative trading behavior—such as pump-and-dump moves and abnormal volume spikes—especially during high-volatility periods and liquidation events.

I bring a risk & incident mindset grounded in root-cause thinking and structured, policy-driven decision-making. I’m highly responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in fast-paced, remote, rotating shift environments across EU-timezone hours.
