Job Description

We 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.

You 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.

This 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.

What makes this role different

You 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.

Vendor platforms (Front Arena, 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.

Main Responsibilities

Build & Change

• Develop, customise and maintain components across the order management, pricing and position keeping platforms, to support new business requirements and platform evolution.
• Design and build in-house applications for the trading desk — integration layers, reporting tools, automation and health-check utilities — where the vendor platforms do not cover the need.
• Deliver enhancements and full project phases end-to-end:analysis, technical design, development, testing, deployment and documentation.
• Work front-to-back across the technology stack,working across databases (Oracle, MS SQL), application servers (Windows, Linux) and front-end components.

Integrate

• Manage and troubleshoot FIX protocol connectivitytowards brokers, exchanges and execution venues — session configuration, message flow analysis, troubleshooting.
• Build and maintain integrationsbetween trading platforms, market data providers, the core banking system and downstream risk and back-office systems.
• Ensure data consistency across systems with different data models and formats, and design the mapping and reconciliation logic.

Run

• Provide L2/L3 application support across trading workflows, from intraday incidents to root-cause analysis and permanent fixes.
• Act as technical escalation pointof complex issues, coordinating with external vendors and other IT teams (infrastructure, database, network, core banking) to resolve them.
• Manage incidents with the…
