Trading Operations Analyst (Weekend/Overnight Coverage)

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Location: BGC office, hybrid (2 days in-office, 3 days remote)
Schedule: Friday 7:00 PM to Monday 4:00 AM EST, plus ad-hoc weeknight coverage

Who We Are

Founded in 2024, Bruce Markets was built to deliver seamless digital investor experiences and bring greater reliability to extended-hours trading. Our team is made up of industry veterans with deep trading and technology experience. Bruce Markets is a FINRA and SEC registered broker dealer that operates the Bruce ATS, an overnight electronic trading marketplace for U.S. equities and ETFs, powered by Nasdaq.

We are at the front lines of expanding meaningful liquidity to global markets. This is a rare chance to help build a marketplace from the ground up and watch it grow.

About the Role

We are extending the Bruce ATS to weekends and are hiring Trading Operations Analysts to cover the new 48-hour session. You will join the trading operations team, which already staffs our weekday overnight shift, and be a key part of the weekend rollout.

This is more than monitoring. You will watch session-by-session client activity, understand how our subscribers trade, and find ways to support the growth of their order flow on our platform. You will work independently or with a small team, with a clear handoff process and an open culture of escalation when you need help.

What You’ll Do

• Start each shift by accepting the handoff from the previous trade ops analyst and updating the broader company in Slack on current session activity
• Provide trade support and actively monitor trading systems throughout the session
• Perform system startup health checks to ensure smooth trading operations
• Assist subscribers with questions, concerns and trade-related issues, resolving them in a timely manner
• Flag outliers and share session trends and insights with clients, internal stakeholders and Bruce’s daytime team
• Partner with Nasdaq’s Level 1 support during session as needed, continuing the close relationship we have today
• Complete end-of-session activities, including system reviews and trade reconciliation
• Learn our start-of-day functions, handoffs and periodic processes, and escalate confidently when you’re unsure how to proceed
• Maintain strong knowledge of trading systems, order routing, execution and FIX protocol
• Uphold regulatory and operational standards, including responsibilities as a Series 7-licensed representative

Who You’ll Work With

• Bruce employees
• Subscribers (our trading clients)
• End clients of subscribers (trade details must be handled with care and never shared inappropriately)
• Nasdaq, our technology provider

What You Bring

• 3+ years of electronic trading and/or trade support experience, with strong knowledge of trading systems
• Knowledge of market microstructure, order routing, execution and FIX protocol
• A Series 7 license, or the ability to obtain the SIE and Series 7 within your first 45 days
• Strong critical thinking skills and the ability to analyze and creatively solve problems
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, and a willingness to learn new financial products and adapt to changing market conditions
• Ability to work weekend hours on a flexible schedule

Why Bruce

• Build something new. Join early and have a hand in growing a marketplace from nothing.
• Meaningful impact. Help expand liquidity to global markets, an effort the whole industry is excited about.
• Schedule flexibility. A weekend shift gives you weekdays to yourself, which suits people whose partners work different hours (such as nurses) or who simply want more freedom during the week.
• Learn from veterans. Work alongside experienced trading and technology professionals.
