Act as the subject-matter expert for trading and risk infrastructure, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and operational resilience under stress.

8+ years in trading, execution, or risk roles within listed derivatives, with deep expertise in at least two of: equity index futures, rates futures, FX futures, energy futures, or metals futures.
Direct, hands-on experience with the funded-trader / prop firm model — either inside a futures prop firm or advising one. You understand how this business actually makes and loses money, and where traders find edge against the house.
Working knowledge of the major players in the futures prop space and a clear view of what each has done well or poorly on risk and rule design.
Working knowledge of regulated entities under NFA, CFTC, and/or CME Group.
Sharp judgement on trader-behaviour patterns: sim farming, account cycling, hedging exploits, gap arbitrage, news abuse, micro-scalping concentration.
