eFX Platform Engineering Product Owner
London | Full-time | Permanent
Help shape and run the technology that supports a busy electronic FX trading and sales environment. This role combines hands-on platform engineering with Product Owner ownership: contributing to technical delivery, strengthening service resilience, and helping turn stakeholder priorities into a clear, actionable team backlog.
The team
The London eFX platform team supports, maintains, and develops trading technology within the Financial Markets Technology domain. We work in an agile delivery model and focus on reliable service, secure change, observability, automation, and continuous improvement. You will work closely with engineers, front-office stakeholders, IT management, tribe product managers, and chapter leads to keep the platform stable today while shaping the roadmap for tomorrow.
Roles and responsibilities
As an engineering-focused Product Owner, you will stay close to the technology while helping the team deliver the right outcomes. You will:
- Contribute to platform engineering, support, and change delivery, keeping stability, reliability, security, and operational quality at the centre of delivery.
- Own and prioritise the team backlog, translating stakeholder needs, technical debt, risk items, and service improvements into clear, actionable work.
- Maintain the platform technical roadmap and align delivery priorities with stakeholders across trading, sales, IT management, and product management.
- Use strong analytical skills to break down incidents, service issues, and technical problems, supporting root-cause analysis and measurable improvement actions.
- Improve observability by strengthening meaningful monitoring, alerting, service-level measures, and reporting using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
- Drive automation through Azure DevOps, pipelines, YAML, and Ansible, reducing manual activity and improving repeatability, control, and delivery confidence.
- Support robust change, release, and risk management practices, ensuring changes are planned, tested, deployed, and evidenced appropriately.
- Create transparency on capacity, delivery options, and trade-offs, including input into Quarterly Business Review planning and stakeholder communication.
