Position

Interactive Brokers is looking for Trade Surveillance Analysts for its Tallinn office, IBEST. These Analysts will review and analyze the trading activity of the firm’s clients to identify potential breaches of market conduct rules or market-related financial crime. IBKR does not use vendor solutions; rather, it builds its own proprietary surveillance capability, leveraging its historical proprietary trading background. The IBEST surveillance role, therefore, offers interesting work and challenges and opportunities for deep-dive investigations versus the mass false-positive alert processing roles offered in many financial institutions.
