The position focuses on developing and implementing solutions across the Bank's core FX electronic trading infrastructure and algorithms—covering pricing, risk management, and execution.

• Strong Java skills are key, ideally with eTrading, algo trading, low-latency, or front-office experience.
• Lots of greenfield work: designing models, building new strategies, and contributing to the transformation of their pricing and hedging systems.
• Directly embedded with the business, offering strong influence and visibility.
• Tech stack: Core Java (low-latency), KDB, Python
• Small, collaborative EMEA team (~10 in tech) with a lean, agile, dress-down culture.
