The Mission
In the Financial Market environment, building a platform integrating your own pricing and risk models is crucial to stay in control of your risk while keeping a competitive edge. Our partner has taken up the challenge by initiating the building of the Pricing Architecture (IPA) platform.

This will be a key platform in the IT landscape for our global dealing rooms, with over 10 scrum teams cooperating towards one Financial Markets IT landscape.
The product you'll be working on is focused on delivering solutions for sales, traders, and risk managers. We are specialized in derivative products, covering multiple asset classes (equities, commodities, interest rates). Our business users are in London, Amsterdam, Brussels, New York, and Singapore.
