ABOUT ASPORA People on the move deserve a bank that moves with them. Since 2022, Aspora has been building a borderless financial operating system that makes money as mobile and transparent as its users. Backed by influential venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Y Combinator & Global Founders Capital. We're a team of 150+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact. We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions. If you’re driven to redefine what global banking can be, we’d love to build the future with you.
Aspora is building the next generation of global money movement — spanning fiat, digital assets, and complex cross-border corridors. At the center of this engine sits FX: pricing risk, managing exposure, and ensuring that every transaction is executed efficiently, transparently, and at scale. As the FX or Forex Trader, you will be a core part of Aspora’s currency operations, supporting day-to-day FX execution, exposure tracking, and market monitoring across multiple corridors. This role is designed for someone who wants to build deep, hands-on expertise in how FX markets intersect with real-world payments, liquidity, and treasury operations. You’ll work closely with senior traders and the treasury team to support pricing decisions, monitor market movements, track positions, and ensure clean execution from trade to settlement. Beyond execution support, you’ll contribute to reporting, tooling, and process improvements that help Aspora scale its FX capabilities with discipline and speed. This is a hands-on, market-facing individual contributor role (4–10 years experience) with strong learning exposure and ownership.
