In breve

Behavox is a data‑focused technology company that builds AI‑driven platforms to turn enterprise‑wide information into actionable insights for multinational firms.

The Front Office Subject Matter Expert (SME) joins the SME team as an experienced individual contributor, owning one or two asset classes and ensuring that the BFDM and URT accurately reflect real‑world trading practices and regulatory requirements. On a day‑to‑day basis the SME defines data specifications for the assigned asset classes, creates and validates fields, schemas and rules within the BFDM, and checks that data outputs conform to those definitions. They translate market‑abuse typologies into Polaris risk scenarios, link them to enforcement cases and work closely with engineering and data‑science teams to verify results. The role also maintains the mapping of asset classes to the URT, keeping risk coverage up to date, and supports the revenue team in client meetings, demos and RFP responses by answering technical questions and producing SME‑reviewed collateral. All work is performed using AI‑native, agentic pipelines and Git‑based workflows in GitLab.

Understanding of structured data modelling concepts, entities, schemas, validation rules and versioning, is also required. Additional assets include proficiency in any language beyond English and practical experience with agentic workflows, which would enhance the AI‑native aspects of the role.
