• Monitoring and reviewing surveillance reports and alerts, working closely with Trading and Technology teams to escalate and follow up as needed
• Conducting data analysis to identify and evaluate trends and potential regulatory risks
• Helping with the maintenance, ongoing testing and improvement of our surveillance alert parameters
• Working closely with various teams across the firm (i.e. Trading, Tech/Engineering, Operations) to implement these improvements to our surveillance systems
• Contributing to and maintaining Jane Street’s policies and procedures in relation to compliance and surveillance
• Developing improvements to the efficiency of the Surveillance and general Compliance team’s processes
