Who you are
- The ideal candidate brings a junior quant mindset, is fluent in Python and SQL, and has hands-on experience automating risk and P&L processes, building scalable reconciliation frameworks, and working directly with options or structured derivatives
- This is a front-line technical operations role, bridging trading, risk, and engineering, and best suited for someone who thrives in high-velocity trading environments and enjoys solving problems with data, code, and process design
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical or analytical discipline (Finance, Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics)
- 4+ years of experience in financial operations, quantitative middle office, or derivatives support—ideally with options or structured products
- Fluency in Python and SQL is required
- Experience with pandas, NumPy, Jupyter, and automation frameworks is nice to have

- Detail-oriented, with strong communication skills and an ability to work independently in a global cross-functional team
What the job involves
- We are looking for a technically strong Senior Associate to join our Middle Office – Options team in London
- You will be responsible for managing operational risk and ensuring front-to-back trade integrity in our growing options business, with a secondary focus on DeFi
- Build and maintain automated reconciliation tools, integrating data across multiple venues, clearing brokers, and internal systems for trade matching, lifecycle events, and settlements
- Design and implement risk and P&L attribution frameworks, leveraging Python/SQL to parse large datasets and deliver real-time or end-of-day exposure, VaR, and stress analytics
- Work directly with traders and quants to monitor margin utilization, capital efficiency, and risk constraints across venues; contribute to tooling around execution algo performance and post-trade analysis
- Act as a technical operations liaison with Treasury, Finance, and Risk teams to ensure accurate trade capture, funding, and fee allocation
- Develop monitoring scripts, dashboards, and alerts to track operational anomalies, portfolio drifts, or data inconsistencies—taking a programmatic approach to error reduction and efficiency
- Assist with the structured product lifecycle from a middle-office lens, including digital options, variance products, and on-chain derivatives where applicable
- Stay on top of evolving options market structure, risk methodology, and cross-venue margin requirements; contribute to internal tooling and documentation on these topics
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Blockchain.com was founded in 2011 with the aim of making Bitcoin more compelling and efficient for consumers. It's now the world's leading provider of digital currency and distributed ledger software, with over 35 million users and $1 trillion in crypto transactions conducted on the platform.
Cryptocurrencies have become a fundamental part of both financial and cultural life. And yet, their world is often still murky and confusing to the uninitiated. Blockchain.com has been focused on bringing further digital assets exposure to mainstream audiences. As part of this, the company partnered with the NFL team, Dallas Cowboys, which has bought with it branding, advertising, content and event opportunities.
The company has impressive funding at its back, which was raised in an otherwise turbulent time for venture capital markets. This stands to signify the attractiveness of the company to investors, and it's currently weighing up its options for a public IPO, which certainly bodes well for its future success.
