This role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence and business partnership, requiring deep engagement with traders, quants, and stakeholders across FX and Rates desks. The role demands a technically deep, hands on engineering leader with strong expertise in capital markets systems, responsible for driving the strategic evolution of STIRT technology - spanning curve construction, RFQ and pricing workflows (for FX and Interest Rate Derivatives) - while managing a globally distributed engineering team. The successful candidate will own the end to end technology vision for STIRT, eliminating fragmentation across trading units and delivering a modern, high performance, resilient platform that enables traders to operate with speed, precision, and confidence. Central to this vision is the active adoption and integration of AI and machine learning capabilities to augment trader workflows, accelerate engineering productivity, and unlock new analytical possibilities across the STIRT business. Role Overview - What you will do Trader Engagement & Stakeholder Management Serve as the primary technology partner for STIRT traders, building trusted relationships and acting as the first point of contact for all technology needs across FX and Rates desks.

Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of the full STIRT front to back workflow. Strategic Architecture & Design Define and own the target state technical architecture for the STIRT platform, covering all components from market data ingestion through to trade booking and risk reporting. Lead architectural decisions on system decomposition, data flow design, API contracts, event driven patterns, and integration with upstream/downstream systems. Drive the modernisation and consolidation of legacy STIRT systems, establishing a clear migration roadmap that minimises disruption to live trading. Evaluate and govern technical trade offs across build vs. buy, latency vs. throughput, consistency vs. availability, and monolith vs. microservices dimensions. Ensure the architecture meets both functional requirements (pricing accuracy, workflow completeness, feature richness) and non functional requirements (latency, throughput, resilience, observability, security, and regulatory compliance). AI Tools Usage & Adoption Champion the strategic adoption of AI and Generative AI tools across the STIRT engineering organisation, identifying high value use cases that meaningfully improve trader workflows, engineering productivity, and analytical capabilities. Drive the evaluation, piloting, and scaled deployment of AI assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, automated code review, test generation) to accelerate delivery velocity and improve code quality across the team. Actively participate in hands on development, including writing, reviewing, and architecting production grade code for high performance, low latency trading systems.

Key Responsibilities: Prototype and validate quantitative workflows end to end - from data retrieval and signal construction through to strategy evaluation, PnL simulation, testing, and risk/scenario analysis - while defining how the AI should interact with data sources, analytics libraries, desk specific tools, etc., and work with engineers to deliver them as production platform capabilities. Write high quality platform code and quantitative libraries - including code designed to be called and understood by AI, with clear interfaces, documentation, and instructions to AI. Enhance the platform's ability to reason about markets, interpret financial data, and produce reliable, contextually aware analysis across products and markets. Continuously evaluate how the platform is used, identify where it excels and where it falls short, and drive improvements that deliver measurable value to trading and research workflows. Engage with stakeholders across the firm - trading desks, risk management, researchers, new joiners, and others - to discover emerging use cases and adapt the platform's capabilities accordingly. Proactively identify new use cases and capabilities as AI technology evolves. Act as the first line of quantitative support for platform users - diagnosing issues, feeding insights back into platform development, and ensuring a high quality user experience. Qualification and Experience: Background in quantitative finance, financial engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, or a related technical field. 3-7 years' experience in a front office quant, strategist, or quantitative research role, ideally with exposure to multiple asset classes. Solid understanding of financial markets, pricing/risk methodologies, and PnL attribution. Experience building or contributing to internal analytics platforms or tools used by traders and researchers. Experience with signal generation, backtesting, or systematic strategy development. Strong programming skills in Python. Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows. Familiarity with AI technologies and their application to quantitative workflows is a strong plus. Experience building AI agents is a strong plus.
