- Manage and support testing cycles with exchanges and venues, including coordination of system integration testing (SIT), user acceptance testing (UAT), and issue triage.
Vendor Coordination & Change Management:
- Act as the primary technical point of contact with the market surveillance provider, ensuring the vendor delivers against SLAs and functional requirements.
- Oversee release coordination, environment management (e.g., test, UAT, prod), and feature deployments in partnership with the vendor and internal teams.
- Drive change request processes, track enhancement requests, and validate rule and configuration changes prior to production deployment.
- Ensure the SaaS platform continues to meet operational, regulatory, and security expectations.
Operational Oversight:
- Monitor platform availability, data completeness, and alert performance to ensure continuous surveillance coverage.
- Support incident triage and resolution in collaboration with the SaaS vendor, DevOps, and compliance stakeholders.
- Establish and maintain dashboards, operational runbooks, and incident response protocols.
- Drive regular vendor review sessions to review KPIs, issues, and platform roadmap alignment.
Cross-Functional Leadership:
- Partner with Compliance, Surveillance Operations, Legal, and IT Security to ensure surveillance capabilities align with regulatory mandates and internal controls.
- Represent technical interests in vendor governance meetings, regulatory audits, and internal control assessments.
- Translate compliance requirements into actionable technical tasks and track their delivery with vendor and internal teams.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in computer science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field.
- 8+ years of experience in financial services technology, including 3+ years in a technical leadership or systems integration role.
- Strong understanding of market structure, trade lifecycle, and regulatory surveillance needs across asset classes.
- Proven experience working with third-party SaaS or managed surveillance platforms and external data providers (e.g., exchanges, brokers).
- Familiarity with integration protocols such as FIX, SFTP, REST APIs, and data transformation/validation processes.
- Excellent organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
Preferred Skills:
- Exposure to major market surveillance platforms (e.g., Nasdaq SMARTS, Eventus Validus, Scila, ACA, etc.).
- Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as CAT, MAR, MiFID II, and SEC Rule 15c3-5.
- Experience managing vendor relationships in a regulated environment.
- Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools, and cloud/SaaS operations.
