About Us

Azul Markets is a Dubai-based, Mauritius-regulated financial services and trading infrastructure provider offering institutional-grade access to global markets. We specialise in trading operations, liquidity solutions, execution infrastructure, and risk management services for institutional counterparties and professional traders.

Although newly established, we are rapidly expanding across regions and asset classes, building a scalable brokerage and trading operation focused on operational excellence, automation, and reliability.

• Direct experience working within forex / CFD brokerages or proprietary trading firms
• Experience with client funds reconciliations and payment provider operations
