Job Description
The role focuses on designing and optimizing risk control strategies for contract trading, ensuring platform security and fairness. Key responsibilities include developing risk management frameworks, monitoring abnormal trading activities, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement effective solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Contract Trading Risk Control Strategy (Core)
- Design and continuously optimize risk control rules and threshold systems for contract trading, including but not limited to:
- Identification of abnormal profit users and teams
- Detection of wash trading, matched orders, and high-frequency abnormal trading
- Arbitrage behaviors exploiting liquidation, funding rates, and mark price mechanisms
- Develop risk stratification and handling strategies at account, currency pair, and platform levels:
- Frequency limits, leverage reduction, position limits, close-only mode, freezing, withdrawal restrictions
- Define boundaries between risk control, liquidity, user operations, and risk control systems to prevent strategy conflicts
- Contract Activities and Incentive Risk Control
- Identify and assess risks from contract activities (e.g., trading competitions, rebates, points, fee discounts):
- Reward acquisition through wash trading/volume manipulation
- Creation of "risk-free trading volume" by exploiting activity rules
- Team-based or scripted arbitrage behaviors
- Provide risk control constraints during activity design:
- Activity thresholds, measurement standards, reward distribution conditions
- Boundaries between risk control exemptions and triggers
- Develop specialized risk control rules and post-event verification mechanisms during activities
- Risk Incident Review and Strategy Iteration
- Conduct post-mortem analysis of major risk incidents (abnormal profits, systematic volume manipulation, extreme market impacts)
- Transform review findings into actionable rules, thresholds, or strategy upgrades
- Continuously reduce reliance on manual intervention, promoting proactive and rule-based risk control systems
- Cross-team Collaboration
- Align risk control boundaries with trading/liquidity teams to avoid using risk control as a solution for liquidity issues
- Collaborate with risk execution and development teams to ensure strategies are executable, monitorable, and replayable
- Work with product/operations teams to complete risk assessments before contract activities and rule changes
- Exception and Compensation Rule Design
- Design platform compensation rules for system anomalies, market anomalies, external price source issues, delays, or interruptions:
- Define boundaries and criteria for compensable/non-compensable cases
- Distinguish between platform responsibility, market risk, and user-specific risk
- Develop compensation calculation logic and standards, including:
- Affected order scope, time windows, and user stratification
- Compensation benchmarks (mark price/index price/actual execution price)
- Compensation caps, ceiling mechanisms, and budget controls
- Collaborate with customer service, operations, and legal teams to ensure compensation rules are explainable, executable, and consistent
- Review historical compensation cases to continuously optimize rules and prevent arbitrage or repeated exploitation
Job Requirements
- Experience in cryptocurrency exchange contracts (Futures Trading), understanding core mechanisms and risk logic of perpetual contracts
- Familiarity with at least one of the following areas, with systematic understanding of the whole:
- Contract trading risk control (liquidation, auto-deleveraging, abnormal profits)
- Abnormal trading behaviors from contract activities/incentives/rebates
- Ability to translate risk issues into clear rules and thresholds rather than relying on temporary manual judgments
- Strong data awareness to develop risk control strategies based on trading data and account behaviors
- Sensitivity to user trading behaviors, understanding common arbitrage and rule circumvention methods targeting exchange rules
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with risk control strategies at top or second-tier exchanges
- Experience designing or participating in risk control rules for trading competitions, rebates, or incentive activities
- Familiarity with risk control rule engines and real-time/near-real-time risk control systems
- Ability to make rational trade-offs between "trading experience" and "risk control"
