About HSBC Technology Poland

">

We are a leading technology organization with a presence in multiple countries. Our teams strive to deliver cutting-edge solutions that drive business growth and customer satisfaction.

FX Trading at HSBC

">

Market Securities & Services (MSS) is the core investment bank for HSBC, offering a wide range of financial services. The Global Foreign Exchange (GFX) business is a key component within MSS, generating millions of transactions across various financial markets.

Our IT teams design and develop modern systems covering trading, sales, customer tools, transaction handling, and financial reporting.

This role is part of the Market Securities & Services (MSS) division, where technology plays a central role in all aspects of our business – from electronic trading in the financial markets.

River is our first ever HSBC-built Cash FX primary trading system (PTS). We have a strong global team of 170 members located across New York, Toronto, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, London, and Krakow.

The team covers a broad range 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

Our Platform and What We Do

">

We're building an in-house platform to support all primary functions for FX Trading (pricing, booking, routing, risk management, and valuations), which will replace our current vendor platform. Our teams adhere to the DevOps ethos and work closely with FX traders.

Everyone in the team develops and releases components of the system into production. So far, we've performed 15,000 releases to build out our PTS and have successfully replaced the vendor platform in all trading sites.

How We Work

">

All our teams work in pods of 4-8 developers and collaborate closely with the business.

We're not 'order takers' but take ownership of the services we develop.

This means:

  • We strive for continuous delivery – making small, incremental releases and following agile practices.
  • We're empowered to use technology and tools to automate as much as possible.
  • We break up monolithic systems into smaller services.
  • Each small team is responsible for everything from requirements to development to running it in Production. If we build it, we own it.

Your Role

">

In this role, you'll be working with us to develop and maintain our FX Trading platform.

You'll automate testing and deployment of small and frequent releases, speak to product owners and business stakeholders on features and requirements, ensure production availability of your service, create usable and efficient Java code, and build a micro-service-based architecture.

You'll also monitor production and keep it stable, focusing on Foreign Exchange business requirements.

Requirements and Qualifications

">

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

  • Java experience
  • TDD knowledge
  • JUnit skills
  • Continuous deployment understanding
  • Testing expertise
  • REST API familiarity
  • DevOps principles

  • A training budget to enhance your skills
  • Private healthcare for your well-being
