What We’re Looking For:

- Leadership Experience: Minimum of 5 years leading technology teams, with a proven track record of managing and developing engineers.

- Technical Expertise: While this is a hands-off role, a background in C++, C#, and Typescript will serve you well. Experience in building infrastructure tools that engineers use daily is a plus.

- Finance Savvy: Knowledge of financial services, particularly FX/IR derivatives, would be highly beneficial.

- Diversity Advocate: A genuine commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.

The Tech Stack:

You’ll have the opportunity to influence and work with cutting-edge technologies like Typescript, React, .NET Core, and more. This is a chance to stay at the forefront of tech, prototyping and adopting new tools that drive real business value.

Ready to Lead Innovation?:

This is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to be a part of something transformative. If you are passionate about technology and have the leadership skills to back it up, apply today and help shape the future of financial services.
