Some careers shine brighter than others.

If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential. Whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.

Your career opportunity

Market Securities & Services (MSS) is the “investment bank” for HSBC. The Global Foreign Exchange (GFX) business is a key component within HSBC’s MSS division.  Our businesses generate millions of transactions across a range of financial markets. Our IT teams design and develop modern systems covering all aspects - trading in the markets, sales and customer tools, handling transactions and building financial and regulatory reporting.

This role is working within the  Market Securities & Services (MSS) division, where technology is central to all aspects of our business – for example electronic trading in the financial markets.

River is the first ever HSBC-built Cash FX primary trading system (PTS). We are a 170 strong global team located across New York, Toronto, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, London and Krakow. The team covers a wide area of functions including:

  • Risk delivers client facing applications including risk management
  • Trade Workflow is responsible for trade booking and lifecycle
  • Compute focuses on valuations
  • RODS manages trade storage

What we do: 

We are building an in-house platform to support all primary functions for FX Trading (pricing, booking, routing, risk management and valuations) which is replacing a vendor platform. Our pods adhere to the DevOps ethos and work closely with the FX traders. Everyone in the team develops and releases components of the system into production. So far, we have performed 15,000 releases to build out our PTS and have demised the vendor platform in all trading sites.

The way we work:

  • All our teams work in pods of 4-8 developers and work closely with the business.
  • We are not ‘order takers’ but responsible for the service we are developing.

For us that means:

  • All our teams strive to do continuous delivery – we do small, incremental releases and follow agile practices.
  • We are empowered to use technology and tools to automate as much as possible.
  • We build small services and strive to break up monolithic systems where we have them.
  • Each small team is responsible for everything from the requirements to the development to running it in Production. If we build it, we own it.

What you need to have to succeed in this role

  • Passionate about technology and demonstrate their aptitude for exploring, learning and building technology.
  • Ability to work well in a team and be an excellent communicator.
  • Be interested in solving problems and flexible and adaptable in doing so.
  • Ability to work under pressure and to deadlines in a dynamic environment
  • Experience with Java 17+ (Concurrency, data structures, lock-free, wait free code, low latency, lambdas).
  • Familiarity with TDD, continuous integration, jUnit, continuous deployment and testing.
  • Experience with REST and messaging technologies.
  • Understanding of DevOps practices.
