• Ideally 2+ years' experience across communications surveillance, compliance surveillance, eComms surveillance or a closely related area. The underlying specification similarly targets 2+ years.Candidates with around 12 months' direct surveillance experience could also be suitable where they have particularly strong Python and data capabilities.

• Experience from a hedge fund, investment manager, market maker or proprietary trading environment would be particularly relevant.
• Hands-on experience reviewing electronic communications / eComms alerts.

• SQL, AI-assisted coding or vibe coding experience would be advantageous.
• Experience personally building, developing, tuning or enhancing surveillance alerts, scenarios, tools or controls.
