Staff Platform Engineer - Murex Resilience

• You are collaborative and enjoy solving problems to help our team to reach highest potential

• We are a team of big thinkers who are engineering the future of banking.  

• Together we can build simpler and better solutions

Do work that matters

We're building tomorrow’s bank today, which means we need creative and diverse engineers to help us redefine what customers expect from a bank. We are on a DevSecOps adoption journey, bringing fundamental changes on how technology is delivered and supported. We are effectively bringing engineering practices to support and maintaining functions through improved observability, automation and an ability for supporting staff to contribute enhancing the platform that support our customers and help build a brighter future for Australia.

See yourself in our team

We are the Murex Platform team part of the Murex crew in IB&M Technology. Here, we work in close collaboration with the Murex Functional teams focusing on the various key functions of the platform (Front-Office/Pre-trade, Operations/Post-trade, Market Risk, Credit Risk and Collateral management).

Our purpose is to provide a stable, scalable and resilient platform and help those teams and their business stakeholders realise maximum value from Murex. To achieve this, we are constantly improving all the facets of the platform including how it is deployed in the cloud, how it is set up and structured, and, finally how it’s operated.  Equally important to us is the rollout of self-serve capabilities through web portals, to manage non-production workloads as well as take on administrative functions in the production workspace.

We’re interested in hearing from people who:

• Demonstrable solid hands-on experience supporting production instance of Murex whilst focusing on ongoing stability and performance of the Murex Platform

• Constantly contributing to the codebase to improve its supportability and influence the change roadmap to guarantee its long-term sustainability

•  Are confident engineers with a proven track record improving trading systems through permanent remediation and automation

• Have experience using public cloud services and supporting cloud-hosted applications

• Pride themselves on their knowledge which they are sharing with their peers whilst continuously learning more themselves along the way

• Have solid hands-on experience operating CICD pipelines using common industry tools like Github and Jenkins

• Pride themselves on mentoring and coaching junior team members

Tech Skills:

We use a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks. We don’t expect you to know them all but experience or exposure with some of these (or equivalents) will set you up for success in this team;

• AWS: EC2, S3, RDS,  CloudWatch

• CI/CD tools (i.e. GitHub Actions, Step Functions, Jenkins)

• Observability (especially the OpenTelemetry framework)

• Python

• DevSecOps experience 

• AWS CDK library
