The Technical Business Analyst – Custodial Projects will be embedded in this work from day one, sitting at the intersection of regulatory requirements, business operations, and system design.

• Investigate gaps between tastytrade's current infrastructure and the target-state Non-Clearing FCM model, surfacing risks, dependencies, and edge cases early
• Partner with engineering, product, compliance, and legal to define and validate requirements across each phase of the initiative
• Maintain clear documentation of decisions made, open questions, and lessons learned throughout the initiative

Who You Are:

• 3–6 years of experience in a business analyst, product analyst, or similar role within financial services, fintech, or a broker-dealer / FCM environment
• NFA/CFTC experience is preferred. Candidates with equivalent regulatory experience or other domestic or international frameworks will be considered where they demonstrate strong regulatory acumen and a track record of developing domain expertise.
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex regulatory or operational requirements into clear written specifications, process documentation, and system design inputs
• Experience working across legal, compliance, and technology teams in a cross-functional environment
• Exceptional written and verbal communication - you write clearly, ask sharp questions, and surface ambiguity before it becomes a problem
