We're building a decentralized Wall Street. We're a lean, remote-first team that ships fast, takes full ownership of outcomes and builds from first principles.\nSei Labs is incubating a new US regulated exchange from zero to one. You'd be the first hire in your function, with the speed and ownership of a startup and the backing of an established company and an S-tier team (Robinhood, Coinbase, Google, etc.)\nAbout the role\nAs Operations Lead, you will own the daily operating engine of our FCM: making sure every trade, position, margin call, cash movement and customer account is processed accurately, on time and under documented controls. You will be the first-line owner of the trade lifecycle and of back- and middle-office operations. You will work closely with Compliance, Risk, Finance and Engineering, with clear first- and second-line responsibilities. You will build the operating model, write the procedures and run them from day one. As volume grows, you will build the team under you.\nWhat you'll do\nTrade lifecycle and clearing: own end-to-end trade flow, including trade capture and booking, DCM/DCO and other applicable clearing interfaces, and the daily clearing files, statements and confirmations. Make sure data flows in and out correctly.\n\nReconciliations and exceptions: run daily trade, position, margin, fee and cash reconciliations, and drive breaks to resolution.\n\nMargin and positions: run margin processing, margin calls and settlement, and coordinate customer liquidations or position reductions with Risk when thresholds are breached.\n\nTreasury and customer funds: operate deposit and withdrawal flows across fiat and stablecoin rails, bank and depository movements, and dual-control approvals. Provide the reconciled cash, margin and customer-account data supporting Finance/CFO segregation and residual-interest calculations, and execute required funding movements under established controls.”\n\nAccount lifecycle and customer operations: own the handoff from KYC/AML approval into account opening, plus account maintenance, statements and tax-document workflows. Once live, own operational customer escalations.\n\nVendors and resilience: own day-to-day relationships with clearing houses, banks, custodians, funding rails and back-office systems. Run SLAs, incident management and BCP/DR, and lead launch readiness.\n\nControls and governance: write procedures, maker-checker controls, key risk and control indicators, and management reporting. Keep clear lines of responsibility with Compliance, Risk, Finance and Engineering.\n\nRegulatory credibility: explain and defend the operating model to regulators during registration and exams.\n\nWhat you bring\n6+ years of progressively responsible futures/clearing operations experience\n\nHands-on, end-to-end trade flow experience: execution, clearing, settlement and reporting.\n\nDeep experience with position management and margin.\n\nWorking knowledge of FCM obligations, including customer funds segregation, daily segregation computations and books and records.\n\nA clean regulatory record, with no NFA or FINRA disciplinary history.\n\nStrong process and control design skills, and comfort writing the playbook rather than following one.\n\nData fluency (SQL or advanced Excel) and the ability to partner with engineers on automation.\n\nAutonomy and composure in a 0-to-1 environment where priorities shift often.\n\nNice to have\nExperience with fiat and stablecoin funding rails, or with crypto custody operations.\n\nExperience with 24/7 markets or perpetual futures.\n\nRisk operations exposure, such as pre-trade limits and liquidation workflows.\n\nExperience standing up a new FCM, broker-dealer or product line.\n\nFamiliarity with back-office platforms such as FIS GMI, Rolfe & Nolan, Broadridge or ION, and with CME clearing tools.\n\nSeries 3 or equivalent registration.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3977,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"New York","iso":null,"kind":"city"},{"name":"San Francisco","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Blockchain Infrastructure"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T15:21:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":84,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.838,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sei-operations-lead-regulated-trading","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sei-operations-lead-regulated-trading.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T15:43:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21327,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":47636},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47636"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsei-operations-lead-regulated-trading"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsei-operations-lead-regulated-trading"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsei-operations-lead-regulated-trading"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sei-operations-lead-regulated-trading\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsei-operations-lead-regulated-trading"}]}
