About the Role
This is an opportunity to grow into a senior technical leadership position with a team building next-generation infrastructure for regulated financial markets.
You'll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and client delivery, helping evolve the architecture of a ledger-based post-trade platform. You'll start hands-on as a senior engineer, and take on increasing ownership of system design, technical direction, and solution architecture as you grow into the role.
Why This Role
You'll have real influence in a small, high-calibre team, with close exposure to modern financial market infrastructure and a genuine voice in product and architectural decisions. Expect a fast learning curve across technology, regulation, and market structure.
What You'll Do
Architecture & System Design
- Design secure, scalable distributed systems for regulated environments
- Define and evolve system architecture, APIs, and integration patterns
- Apply sound software design patterns and architectural principles
- Contribute to decisions on ledger and smart contract design
- Build in auditability, resilience, and operational robustness from the outset
