As we build more tools used directly by traders, we are looking for a Business Analyst with strong front-office fixed income e-trading experience to help shape what we build and how we build it.
We provide a low-latency, high-throughput distributed messaging system for e-trading fixed income markets. We are, foremost, a technology service provider and support for part of our customers’ trading infrastructure. Our core products involve API connectivity and GUIs for electronic trading.
What you’ll be doing:
Leverage your front-office fixed income e-trading experience to help shape trader-facing tools and features.
Work with Product and Engineering to turn trading workflows and business problems into clear requirements and deliverable software.
Explore workflows including RFQ, pricing, price contribution, venue connectivity, auto-negotiation, hedging, and execution.
Identify edge cases, challenge assumptions, and help the team make practical product decisions.
Follow features from discovery through development and validation to make sure they solve the intended problem.
To thrive in this role, you need to:
Have substantial experience as a Business Analyst or in a similar role within a bank, working closely and regularly with one or more trading desks market-making fixed income products electronically.
Have experience gathering traders' requirements, working with designers and developers to build UI and API solutions.
Know at least one relevant product area in depth, such as Bonds (rates and/or credit) and Interest Rate Swaps.
Understand electronic trading workflows, including RFQ, D2C and D2D trading, pricing, venues, and venue connectivity.
Be familiar with trading tools and workflows such as auto-negotiation, hedging, and price contribution.
Be comfortable working with developers and able to reason through basic logic, algorithms, and pseudocode. You do not need to be a developer.
Bonus points if you:
Have knowledge across more than one fixed income product or asset class.
Have a formal background as a fixed income trader.
