You’ll be the senior technical authority supporting our enterprise market data platform across multiple Tier-1 banking clients. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where you’ll troubleshoot low-latency data issues, optimise distribution flows, and work closely with traders, quants, and infrastructure teams to ensure seamless delivery of real-time and reference data.

• Troubleshooting latency, connectivity, entitlement, and data quality issues
• Working directly with front-office users, market data teams, and infrastructure engineering
• Leading incident response and managing high-priority escalations
• Analysing usage patterns and advising clients on capacity, performance, and architecture
• Collaborating with product and engineering teams to refine features and roadmap
• Mentoring junior specialists and shaping support standards across the team
What You Bring

• Deep understanding of real-time data technologies
• Solid Windows and Linux skills and comfort with scripting (Python, Shell, Perl)
• Familiarity with networking concepts, multicast, entitlements, and low-latency environments
• Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A calm, structured approach to incident management and problem solving
• Confidence operating in high-pressure, front-office-aligned environments
Why Join Us
