What we’ll offer you
A healthy, engaged, and well-supported workforce are better equipped to do their best work and, more importantly, enjoy their lives inside and outside the workplace. That’s why we are committed to providing an environment with your development and wellbeing at its centre. You can expect:
- Hybrid Working - we understand that employee expectations and preferences are changing. We have implemented a model that enables eligible employees to work remotely for a part of their working time and reach a working pattern that works for them

- The opportunity to support a wide-ranging CSR programme + 2 days’ volunteering leave per year
Your key responsibilities
- Lead production stability across the Rates business in Europe, aligning engineering priorities with business objectives, regulatory expectations, and platform resilience goals
- Embed modern Site Reliability Engineering principles and support the move from reactive support to a proactive, data-determined, and automation-led engineering model
- Strengthen platform robustness by reviewing architecture, contributing to tooling strategy, and setting clear standards for incident response, post-incident evaluation, and risk reduction
- Act as a senior partner to the Head of Rates Trading, Rates desk heads, technology executives, and adjacent business stakeholders, supporting transparency, aligned priorities, and shared accountability for platform performance and health
- Develop, mentor, and scale a global team aligned to Site Reliability Engineering principles, promoting ownership, technical quality, curiosity, and continuous improvement
