Development Manager_ (6 months Contract)

You will work closely with developers and business stakeholders to deliver high-performance, user-friendly changes that support the global market technology function in the bank.

Delivery

Own end‑to‑end delivery schedule across multiple streams of work- sprint execution in Jira and a release calendar to plan delivery.
Run the delivery forum/channel and escalate slippage early with a recovery plan.

Engineering practice & tooling

• Keep the estate current - JDK upgrades, framework versions, vulnerability remediation and decommissioning of legacy components on a published roadmap.
• Own the CI/CD pipeline in Jenkins: build, automated test, static analysis and security scanning gates, artefact promotion, and repeatable deployment to every environment.
• Keep Confluence the single source of truth for designs, runbooks, onboarding and decision records - documentation is part of done, not an afterthought.
• Maintain the SDM toolchain-pre-project, analysis, change, incident, problem and release records reconcile with what the pipeline shipped.

Requirements:

• Experience operating within formal SDLC, change and release governance using SDM tooling, and stand behind it in audit.
• Hands‑on delivery experience in capital markets - eTrading, execution, pricing, market data, OMS/EMS or post‑trade - within a bank, exchange, broker or trading firm.
• Working knowledge of the trade lifecycle to clients and venues.
• Proven ownership of delivery cadence run in Jira, with documentation and decision records in Confluence and Microsoft office tools.
• Experience operating within formal SDLC, change and release governance using SDM tooling, and stand behind it in audit.
• A track record of running production‑critical systems: incident command, root cause analysis, and preventing the repeat.
