Wave Works and Global Exchange Partnership
Wave Works have partnered with a leading global exchange, in implementing a new SFTP solution to support secure, regulated file transfer across its trading and market infrastructure.
They are bringing in niche-skillset contract resource (Inside IR35) to support delivery of this implementation alongside its internal programme team — 3 positions are available on this engagement.
SFTPGo has been chosen however, direct experience with SFTPGo is not required.
This is a mission-critical, tightly regulated environment. The successful candidates will combine strong technical delivery with the security and change discipline expected of a financial exchange.
Key Responsibilities
-
SFTP SME
- Support the evaluation, technical and security assessment, and hardening of the SFTP platform being introduced at the Client.
- Manage secure file-transfer architecture: SSH/SFTP configuration, key management, certificate lifecycle, and encryption in transit.
- Work with security, network and infrastructure teams to align on architecture, resilience and disaster-recovery requirements.
- Support proof-of-concept, testing, UAT and production rollout, using a phased, controlled approach appropriate to a regulated environment.
- Document processes, runbooks and operational procedures to support handover into BAU.
- Work closely with the Client's programme team and technical stakeholders throughout delivery.
