Are you interested in detecting financial crime? The Market Abuse & Fraud team is looking for a new motivated colleague to improve our trading surveillance system.

Within the Financial Crime Prevention department, we are responsible for Saxo meeting the applicable market abuse regulations, and maintaining an efficient surveillance system, which flags suspicious activities. The detection and addressing of these incidents and suspicions is critical for Saxo Bank’s compliance and integrity of financial markets, therefore we need the most competent and vigilant Saxonians for this task.

About the job

The position primarily involves the development and maintenance of the market abuse surveillance system and optimizing detection. Also, as new circumstances bring new challenges and financial crime manifests in new methods, your role will be to enhance our system dynamically and efficiently.

Additionally, in this role you will meet other tasks addressing market abuse within Saxo Bank, and you will become familiar with related areas from all angles.

Responsibilities

The team is dedicated to capturing various forms of market abuse. As our new colleague you will:

  • Further develop Saxo’s market abuse surveillance system and optimize its output
  • Maintain the existing system and ensure its smooth operation
  • Involvement in developing and improving other detection systems within the financial crime area
  • Improve the team’s internal reporting processes from a technical perspective
  • Address ad hoc challenges in detection, prevention and internal reporting

Your Profile

You have extensive experience in Python programming and SQL, and some experience with Databricks and Git. Knowledge of Spark, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code are further advantages. You have a Bachelor or Master degree in IT, Finance, Economics, Law or Mathematics, and have a basic understanding of trading.

You are eager to explore new aspects and continuously expand your knowledge. Confident in making responsible decisions independently, you are ready to take on challenges and thrive under pressure. Your proactive and self-driven attitude enables you to deliver results efficiently.

In addition, you demonstrate strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in demanding situations. You are comfortable working independently while maintaining a focus on achieving goals.

We conduct interviews on a continuous basis, so please submit your application sooner rather than later.
