Software Architect

We're looking for an experienced Software Architect to drive engineering excellence and shape the technical direction of our Capital Markets IT platforms. This is a hands-on role focused on building scalable, low-latency, and resilient systems, while also defining engineering standards and leveraging GenAI to enhance developer productivity.

What you'll do

• Design and deliver high-performance architectures for trading, risk, and post-trade systems
• Define and enforce engineering standards (code quality, testing, performance, security)
• Lead architecture reviews and manage key design decisions (ADRs)
• Drive adoption of event-driven, domain-driven, and cloud-native architectures
• Promote TDD / BDD and a strong Definition of Done (DoD) practices
• Integrate GenAI / Agentic AI into development workflows (coding, testing, documentation)
• Build reusable AI-driven tools (prompt libraries, test generators, refactoring assistants)
• Track and improve engineering metrics (quality, deployment frequency, MTTR)
• Partner with Cloud & Security teams to embed DevSecOps and shift-left practices

What we're looking for

• 10+ years in software engineering, including architect/principal-level experience
• Strong expertise in at least one stack:
• Java / Kotlin (Spring Boot, low-latency systems) OR
• Python (async, data/quant workflows) OR
• C++ (modern C++, high-performance systems);
• Experience in Capital Markets (trading platforms, risk, OMS, post-trade)
• Strong background in distributed systems (high availability, strong consistency, low latency)
• Experience with messaging systems (Kafka, Solace, or similar)

Nice to have

• Experience with GenAI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) in engineering workflows
• Understanding of AI/ML fundamentals and prompt engineering
• Experience working in cloud-native environments
