Your responsibility will be to evolve the architecture in line with the business objectives for FX, with a strong focus on Cloud, AI/Data, API and Security. You will help shape the strategic agenda for the application portfolio, design solutions, provide solution alternatives, and detail roadmaps towards the target architecture.
We are looking for a Solution Architect with a solid developer background, who can combine hands-on technical depth with leadership abilities and strong collaboration skills.

You will also be part of the FX Tribe, which includes teams from Trading Technology and Trading Services, all working closely together to support the FX business.

Our selection process includes a programming test, a final architecture case interview, and HR assessments. The final stage is a case interview based on a realistic technology modernization scenario. No prior preparation is required.
We are not looking for a perfect answer, but for how you think as an architect. We will assess your ability to analyze complex challenges, evaluate trade-offs, balance business and technical needs, and communicate clear architectural recommendations. Strong performance is characterized by structured thinking, curiosity, sound reasoning, and the ability to translate strategy into actionable roadmaps.
