- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Commerce, Mathematics, or a related field
- Basic familiarity with Linux/Unix environments
- Basic knowledge of Python or willingness to learn simple scripts under guidance
- Basic SQL knowledge — able to read and run simple queries
- Strong attention to detail and a methodical, patient approach to repetitive tasks
Good to Have:
- Basic understanding of financial concepts such as stocks, orders, or trade execution (academic or self-taught)
- Comfort working with spreadsheets (Excel) for tracking and reporting
- Any internship or academic project experience involving data or systems
What You Will Learn
This role is structured as a learning track. Over your first 6–12 months, you will progressively build familiarity with:

- How trading systems are monitored day-to-day
- Reading and understanding trade data and logs
