• Assist in designing the in-house Order and Risk Management System (ORMS) architecture in line with regulatory, trading, and operational needs.
• Monitor daily risk operations, identify gaps in current processes, and propose system-led improvements.
• Support testing and validation (UAT) of new features, configurations, and risk policies.
• Coordinate with Compliance and Operations to ensure alignment with SEBI regulations and exchange circulars.
• Manage escalations related to order rejections, risk breaches, margin shortfalls, and trading limits.
• Maintain documentation and process maps across multiple asset classes, including equity, derivatives, and commodities.

Requirements
