Our sustainable success is based on our talents and on how we partner with our clients and communities to create lasting value. /p pbJob Description /b /p pWe are looking for a Software Engineer with strong development skills to join the IT Trading Treasury team of a leading private bank, supporting mission-critical front-office systems used daily by a trading room of around 50 traders. /p pYou will own the technical delivery and operational support of our Order Management, Pricing and Position Keeping platforms across asset classes — securities, derivatives and structured products — as well as the in-house applications we build to close gaps around them. /p pThis is a hands-on engineering role. You will design and write code, customise vendor platforms, integrate systems front-to-back, and keep production running. The environment is technically rich and highly integrated: order flow, market data, pricing, risk and core banking all connect through the platforms you will own. /p pWhat makes this role different /p pYou are not maintaining one system in isolation. You will work across the full stack — database, application server, integration layer, front end — and across the full lifecycle, from a trader's request to production release. /p pVendor platforms (FrontArena, Ullink, FinIQ) are part of the landscape, but so is genuine in-house development. Prior vendor experience is welcome; engineering ability and financial-product curiosity matter more. /p pbMain Responsibilities /b /p pBuild Change /p ulliDevelop, customise and maintain componentsacross the order management, pricing and position keeping platforms, to support new business requirements and platform evolution. /liliDesign and build in-house applicationsfor the trading desk — integration layers, reporting tools, automation and health-check utilities — where the vendor platforms do not cover the need. /li liDeliver enhancements and full project phases end-to-end:analysis, technical design, development, testing, deployment and documentation. /li liWork front-to-back across the technology stack,working across databases (Oracle, MS SQL), application servers (Windows, Linux) and front-end components. /li /ul pIntegrate /p ulliManage and troubleshoot FIX protocol connectivitytowards brokers, exchanges and execution venues — session configuration, message flow analysis, troubleshooting. /li liBuild and maintain integrationsbetween trading platforms, market data providers, the core banking system and downstream risk and back-office systems. /li liEnsure data consistencyacross systems with different data models and formats, and design the mapping and reconciliation logic. /li /ul pRun /p ulliProvide L2/L3 application supportacross trading workflows, from intraday incidents to root-cause analysis and permanent fixes. /li liAct as technical escalation pointof complex issues, coordinating with external vendors and other IT teams (infrastructure, database, network, core banking) to resolve them. /li liManage incidents with the trading deskwith clear communication on impact and expected resolution time — and write the post-mortem when it matters. /li liWork directly with traders, Market Risk and Operationsto translate business needs into technical solutions, and to challenge requirements where a better technical answer exists. /li liPartner with internal IT teamsin a small, senior team where technical decisions are discussed openly and ownership is real. /li /ul pbSkills and experience /b /p ulli3–8 years of experiencein application development and/or application support within financial services IT. /li liSolid development skillsin Java and/or Python — you write production code, not only scripts. /li liVery good knowledgeof SQL and relational database systems (Oracle, MS SQL), including the ability to read and optimise queries;
