Risk Manager (Senior+)

Work Format: Remote (with opportunity for future relocation to our Dubai office after the probation period for top performers)

🌌 EVEDEX is a hybrid trading exchange, merging CeFi and DeFi to create a seamless, secure, and high-performance trading experience. We’re looking for a Risk Manager with a strong quantitative background, deep understanding of trading math and pricing models, and hands-on experience in crypto or brokerage risk environments.

This is a pivotal role focused on stress-testing our trading logic, implementing leverage controls, and ensuring price execution mechanisms function as intended in real-time markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Audit and optimise current risk configurations across the trading engine.
• Design and run stress tests for key formulas and execution logic, ensuring mathematical soundness under load.
• Implement and monitor price execution controls to detect anomalies.
• Build leverage management logic for both retail users and market makers.
• Develop internal frameworks for testing, simulations, and edge-case analysis.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to embed risk logic into core systems.
• Maintain clear and formalised risk policies, thresholds, and documentation.

Requirements

• Strong mathematical or quantitative education (e.g. physics, applied math, financial engineering).
• Proven experience in risk management at a crypto exchange or brokerage (forex, full-service, etc).
• Hands-on ability to write SQL queries and independently analyze datasets.
• Understanding of crypto trading mechanics, including the differences between CEX and DEX models.
• Willingness to engage directly with systems — we’re looking for someone hands-on, not just managerial.
• Ability to evaluate and test pricing models, margin logic, and liquidation scenarios.

Nice to Have

• Experience building custom dashboards or risk reports (e.g. with Metabase).
• Exposure to DeFi or smart contract-based trading environments.
• Background in market making, quantitative trading, or algorithmic strategy development.
• Familiarity with risk alerting systems and automated controls.

What We Offer

• Highly competitive salary in USDT/USD via contract or crypto payments.
• 28 days of paid vacation + 5 additional day-offs.
• Full remote work, with an option for relocation to Dubai after probation.
• Opportunity to shape risk infrastructure for a next-gen crypto trading platform.
