  • Extend the forward pricing infrastructure to enable on-demand quoting and dynamic curve crossing from eCommerce systems.
  • Integrate new pricing models and incorporate new market data feeds into the pricing stack.
  • Cooperate directly with eRisk Quant Traders and Cash FX Forward / NDF traders to gather requirements and validate solutions.
  • Collaborate with the technical lead and teams across the GFX programme to enhance the system, including support for onshore market trading and risk management needs.
  • Create detailed technical designs for assigned work items.
  • Collaborate with external consultancies providing technical or UX design expertise when required.
  • Implement high-quality technical solutions following agreed designs, industry standards, CI/CD practices, and automated testing methodologies.
  • Conduct full functional testing of delivered components ahead of UAT.
  • Support deployments to development and test environments when needed.
  • Participate in intra-day or overnight support rotations (as required).

Your skills

  • Strong Java server-side development experience (required), including solid understanding of multi-threaded architectures.
  • Proven experience delivering global, distributed systems operating in a 24 × 5.5 trading environment.
  • Experience building FX or eRates pricing systems for eCommerce (highly beneficial).
  • Knowledge of KDB/Q (advantageous but not mandatory).
  • Python familiarity (advantageous).
  • Understanding of trading desk operations in large, multi-site investment banks with substantial eCommerce presence.
  • Knowledge of FX markets, especially forward FX and spot FX conventions, in a high-volume, low-latency environment.
  • Experience delivering enterprise-grade systems, while also working in an agile model with traders and quants.
