Trading Services at D2X

Trading Services is a product-focused team that sits at the intersection of Trading, Technology, and Market Structure. We are responsible for the evolution, quality, and trading capability of the exchange. We put a strong emphasis on removing any manual actions, by automating wherever possible.

• Validate trading, post-trade, and settlement behaviour in close collaboration with Engineering, Trading, Risk, and Compliance
• Own product quality metrics and drive continuous improvements across the trading lifecycle

3. Market Analytics & Automation

• Maintain oversight of trading activity and core platform behaviour using monitoring and analytics tools
• Identify useful information for members or internal teams, and help to automate the generation of this data, in our data warehouse pipeline (Python, Dagster, Iceberg).
• Investigate new technologies and product opportunities, that D2X may adopt.

Your Responsibilities

• Own the functional integrity of the trading platform across trading, post-trade, and settlement flows
• Act as a product and trading-domain expert for internal teams and external participants
