Compliance Associate, Market Surveillance
New York City, NY

Who are we?
FalconX is a pioneering team of operators, investors, and builders committed to revolutionizing institutional access to the crypto markets. Operating at the intersection of traditional finance and
cutting-edge technology, FalconX addresses the industry's foremost challenges: Navigating the digital asset market can be complex and fragmented, with limited products and services that support trading strategies, structures, and liquidity found in conventional financial markets. As a comprehensive solution for all digital asset strategies from start to scale, FalconX operates as the connective tissue empowering clients with seamless navigation through the ever-
evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
Position Summary
FalconX is seeking a Compliance Associate, Markets Surveillance to join our Compliance team and play a central role in maintaining the integrity of our trading platform and digital asset markets. In this role, you will independently investigate trade surveillance alerts, assist with token and asset due diligence, and contribute to the ongoing development of our surveillance program as our business scales. You will work at the intersection of compliance, data, AI, and market structure — leveraging vendor-based and FalconX's internal surveillance tooling to detect manipulation, monitor market conduct, and ensure our platform meets the highest regulatory standards across the jurisdictions in which we operate. This role requires equal parts investigative rigor, technical comfort, and clear communication, and offers a unique opportunity to shape surveillance practice at one of the leading institutional digital asset platforms.
Key Responsibilities
Trade Surveillance & Market Abuse Detection
Alert Triage & Investigation: Independently review, investigate, and disposition trade surveillance alerts across digital asset markets, including potential wash trading, spoofing, layering, front-running, and insider trading.
Pattern Recognition: Analyze trading activity across order books, execution venues, and counterparties to identify manipulative patterns, anomalous behaviors, and coordinated trading schemes in both spot, spot-related derivatives markets, and tokenized real world assets and their derivative markets.
Escalation: Identify regulatory red flags and suspicious trading patterns, and prepare comprehensive investigative narratives with supporting evidence to escalate to the Compliance Manager.
Token & Asset Due Diligence
New Listing Assessments: Conduct thorough due diligence on tokens and digital assets prior to onboarding, evaluating tokenomics, liquidity profiles, smart contract risk, governance structures, and issuer background.
Ongoing Monitoring: Continuously assess listed assets for material changes—regulatory actions, delistings on peer venues, rug-pull indicators, wash trading in underlying markets, or significant shifts in holder concentration—and escalate findings with clear risk narratives.
Market Integrity Scoring: Contribute to internal frameworks for assessing asset-level manipulation risk, incorporating on-chain analytics, order book health metrics, and cross-venue liquidity indicators.
Process Optimization & Collaboration
AI-Augmented Investigation: Leverage AI-assisted surveillance tooling to investigate alerts and surface risk patterns, contribute to real-world feedback on model outputs, prompt effectiveness, and detection gaps to continuously improve the accuracy and utility of FalconX's surveillance capabilities.
Tooling & Automation: Partner with Engineering and Data teams to enhance surveillance platform capabilities, contributing use-case requirements, testing detection scenarios, and validating model outputs.
Regulatory Compliance & Audit Support
Regulatory Alignment: Maintain a deep, up-to-date understanding of market abuse regulations across jurisdictions (CFTC, SEC, MiCA, MAS) and digital-asset-specific guidance to ensure surveillance coverage remains fully compliant.
Policy Contribution: Partner with the Compliance Manager to update surveillance procedures, detection playbooks, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) as regulations and market structures evolve.
Audit Readiness: Assist in gathering investigation documentation, alert disposition records, and tuning rationale for internal audits, bank partner reviews, and regulatory examinations.
Data Management & Reporting
Investigation Integrity: Maintain thorough, audit-ready investigation records with complete evidence chains, ensuring absolute data confidentiality in line with global privacy standards.
Metrics & Reporting: Help compile regular reports on alert volumes, disposition rates, true-positive ratios, and investigation turnaround times to assist leadership in capacity planning and program effectiveness assessments.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Data Science, Criminology, Law, or a related field.
Experience: 3–5 years of direct experience in trade surveillance, market abuse investigations within digital assets, fintech, proprietary trading, or brokerage firm.
Technical Proficiency: Experience working with surveillance platforms, transaction monitoring systems, and data analysis tools to investigate complex trading behaviors. Demonstrated comfort working with AI-assisted workflows, including LLM-powered investigation tools, prompt-driven analysis, or AI-augmented alert triage — and the critical judgment to identify where AI outputs require human validation or correction.
Analytical Mindset: Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to reconstruct trading sequences, identify coordinated activity across accounts, and distinguish legitimate strategies from manipulative conduct.
Communication: Crisp verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to document complex investigations clearly and explain market conduct expectations to non-compliance stakeholders.
The base pay for this role is expected to be between $111,000 - $140,000 in the New York City Area. This expected base pay range is based on information at the time this post was generated. This role will also be eligible for other forms of compensation such as a performance linked bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package. Actual compensation for a successful candidate will be determined based on a number of factors such as location, skillset, experience, qualifications and the level at which the candidate is hired.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.

Reporting to the Head of Accounting, you will manage critical workstreams within our financial reporting function during a period of significant institutional scaling.

You aren’t just maintaining books - you are building and managing a definitive "source of truth" within a complex, high-volume trading and regulated derivatives environment. This role is a 50/50 split between serving as an advanced technical expert and an operational manager, bridging the gap between cutting-edge trading desks and institutional-grade, regulated financial statements.
Key Responsibilities
Operational Leadership & Strategy: Manage technical accounting and reporting workstreams; set clear operational objectives, delegate tasks effectively, and oversee departmental schedules and budgets to ensure flawless execution.
Financial Normalization: Direct the forensic review and reconciliation of complex historical data, leading internal and external resources to ensure a robust, "audit-ready" foundation.

Capital Markets Readiness: Lead the project management and drafting of sophisticated financial disclosures and MD&A for potential registration statements, S-1/F-1 prospectus disclosures, and SEC engagements.
Global Systems Optimization: Design, implement, and monitor SOPs for offshore teams and direct reports, while tightening the integration between our crypto sub-ledgers and NetSuite to improve month-end cadence.
Target Experience & Skills
Background: Proven track record transitioning from Big 4 Audit/Technical Desks into Accounting Advisory (e.g., CFGI, FTI, EY, KPMG) or In-House Accounting leadership at a high-growth digital assets firm, FinTech startup, broker-dealer, or Investment Bank.
Regulated Entities Expertise: Direct, hands-on experience handling financial record keeping, regulatory capital computations, and filing frameworks for a CFTC Swap Dealer, Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), or SEC Broker-Dealer.
People & Project Management: Experience managing multiple departments or workstreams, with a proven ability to lead large, high-priority projects and delegate effectively to direct reports or offshore teams.
Reconstructive Mindset: You enjoy the "puzzle" of managing and building legal entity financials from high-volume, unstructured data sources.
Technical Stack: Proficiency in Workiva and NetSuite
Subject Matter Expertise: Direct experience with SEC Pre-clearance, Purchase Accounting (ASC 805), and DeFi Accounting.
Product Diplomacy: The ability to partner cross-functionally with Trading and BizDev teams to assess and operationalize the accounting impact of DeFi yields and "wrapped" assets before they launch.
Additional Information
Flexibility to work across different time zones during crucial periods such as month-end closes.
Ability to thrive under pressure in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Commitment to continuous improvement and operational excellence.
Compensation: The base pay for this role is expected to be between $157,000 and $199,000 in New York City. This expected base pay range is based on information at the time this post was generated. This role will also be eligible for other forms of compensation such as a performance-linked bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.

Who are we?
FalconX is a pioneering team of operators, investors, and builders committed to revolutionizing institutional access to the crypto markets. Operating at the intersection of traditional finance and
cutting-edge technology, FalconX addresses the industry's foremost challenges: Navigating the digital asset market can be complex and fragmented, with limited products and services that support trading strategies, structures, and liquidity found in conventional financial markets. As a comprehensive solution for all digital asset strategies from start to scale, FalconX operates as the connective tissue empowering clients with seamless navigation through the ever-
evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
About the Role
As Counsel, Corporate and FinTech Product, you will be a cornerstone of the FalconX legal team, driving the execution of our global commercial strategy while safeguarding the firm’s corporate integrity. You will provide strategic legal guidance across a broad spectrum of corporate, regulatory, and transactional matters. This role requires a high-energy "builder" mindset, working cross-functionally to support rapid business initiatives and ensuring compliance with evolving global regulations.
Responsibilities
Commercial Contracting: Lead the drafting, negotiation, and review of complex commercial agreements, including SaaS licensing, strategic partnerships, vendor services, and client-facing institutional trading agreements.
Corporate Governance: Provide legal counsel on corporate governance frameworks, manage entity management tasks, and assist in preparing materials for Board of Directors meetings.
Intellectual Property: Oversee and protect FalconX’s IP portfolio, including managing trademark filings, advising on patent strategy, and ensuring IP protections are robust in all third-party collaborations.
General Corporate Matters: Support equity plan administration, internal restructurings, and intercompany agreements.
Regulatory Monitoring: Track global regulatory developments in the digital asset and financial services space, advising stakeholders on future amendments or risks to our commercial product suite.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Sales teams to launch new features while adhering to financial regulations.
Risk & Dispute Management: Assist in handling commercial disputes, regulatory inquiries, and the development of internal legal policies.
Requirements
Education: Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent legal degree from an accredited institution.
Bar Admission: Active admission to a State Bar and in good standing.
Experience: 5+ years of legal experience, ideally beginning at a top-tier law firm followed by in-house experience at a high-growth fintech or digital asset platform.
Subject Matter Expertise: Deep experience in corporate law, commercial transactions (specifically SaaS and partnerships), and fintech regulations.
Crypto Fluency: Familiarity or expressed interest with cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and the associated global regulatory frameworks.
Soft Skills: Ability to distill complex legal concepts into actionable business advice for non-legal stakeholders.
The base pay for this role is expected to be between $196,000 - $248,000 in New York City. This expected base pay range is based on information at the time this post was generated. This role will also be eligible for other forms of compensation such as a performance linked bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package. Actual compensation for a successful candidate will be determined based on a number of factors such as location, skillset, experience, qualifications and the level at which the candidate is hired.
