Technical Business Analyst

Technical Business Analyst - Rates & Credit Trading Platform Global Investment Bank

A leading global investment bank is hiring a Technical Business Analyst to join its front office technology division, working on the bank's flagship Java-based Rates and Credit trading platform. This is a key system covering pricing, real-time data, and trade processing across global markets.

You'll be joining a 25-person global engineering team driving a multi-year platform modernisation project - taking a greenfield approach to architecture and product design. This is a growth area of the business that has seen strong returns and continued investment, with new hires planned as the project expands.

This position will suit someone with strong front office exposure, who enjoys bridging the gap between technology and trading teams, and who can combine analytical thinking with a solid technical grounding.

The Role:

• Act as the primary interface between trading and technology, gathering requirements and translating them into clear technical solutions
• Contribute to solution design, collaborating closely with developers and architects on system improvements
• Build a deep understanding of the platform's Java-based microservice architecture
• Work on the modernisation and re-architecture of core systems with a greenfield mindset
• Engage in end-to-end delivery across design, testing, and release
• Occasionally contribute to hands-on development or scripting where required (not a core function)
• Collaborate globally with teams across London, New York, and Asia
• 3 days in office per week

Requirements:

• 5+ years' Technical Business Analysis experience within a front office trading environment
• Solid understanding of systems architecture and software delivery processes
• Experience gathering requirements from trading or quant teams
• Exposure to OO programming languages (e.g. Python, Java, C#)
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• Comfortable working in Agile teams

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Fixed Income products or pricing systems
• Knowledge of Java, microservices, Kafka, or cloud platforms (AWS/GCP)
