Trading System Specialist

eToro  |  Global Markets & 24/7 Operations

Financial markets never stop moving, and neither do the systems that power trading at eToro. Our Trading Systems team sits at the center of live market activity, supporting trading across global markets, multiple asset classes, execution venues, and both traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) workflows.

We are looking for a Trading System Specialist to join our 24/7 operations team. This is a hands-on role combining trading, markets, technology, AI, and real-time operations. You will follow market conditions and risk, support and execute trading activity within defined procedures, investigate incidents, and help keep our trading operation running smoothly around the clock.

AI is central to how we want the team to work. We are looking for someone who is curious, agile, and comfortable using AI agents, skills, automation, and AI-assisted development to solve problems and build better workflows. You do not need to be a programmer or an experienced trader, but you should be eager to learn markets and technology quickly and turn ideas into practical solutions.

What You'll Do

• Monitor and manage real-time trading and production systems across global financial markets, including stocks, FX, commodities, futures, and cryptocurrencies.

• Monitor market conditions, pricing, liquidity, trading activity, positions, and risk exposures.

• Execute manual trades, adjust hedging parameters within defined bounds, and support trading operations across multiple asset classes and execution venues.

• Monitor and support TradFi and DeFi trading workflows, including execution, liquidity, hedging, transaction flows, and settlement across relevant venues and systems.

• Make operational adjustments to trading configurations in accordance with established procedures and risk limits.

• Investigate trading failures, system alerts, and operational incidents, assess their impact, escalate when necessary, and follow incidents through to resolution.

• Maintain operational discipline during live shifts, ensure timely follow-up on outstanding issues, and provide clear handovers to the next shift.

• Use AI tools, agents, and automation to investigate problems, analyze data, develop solutions, and improve daily operations.

• Build and enhance internal tools, dashboards, integrations, and workflows using AI-assisted development and automation platforms.

• Work closely with global teams, including Trading, Risk, Technology, Product, and Operations.

• Identify opportunities to improve monitoring, operational efficiency, and system reliability.
• Support the continuous expansion of our 24/7 production monitoring capabilities.
