Your role

Do you have an experience in creating new technical standards and then lead the adoption of these within the teams? We are looking for IT team leader to:
• build up an understanding of our business, and in particular the data flows and interdependencies that our systems have so that you can contribute in discussions about these
• directly influence team behavior and assist in our efforts to modernize our approach to software development
• help to embrace microservices and cloud that requires a fundamental change to our build chain: how we test and release software
• combine line manager responsibility with the daily workload managed by our development leads in London and New York

Your team

There are three streams in our team: one looking at the project initiatives against the real-time applications; these systems need to react to live trade feeds. Another stream looks at projects relating to the overnight risk calculations which stress the open positions against extreme market conditions and determines the worse-case scenarios. Finally, the third stream looks at the maintenance of the existing suite of applications, responding to projects such as server migrations and decommissioning tasks.
