  • Drive industrialisation of the eIRS engine, managing timing issues and race conditions.
  • Collaborate with quant teams to integrate core pricing models for short-end curve instruments and relative value analytics (Z-score, Carry & Roll, XCCY RV) 
  • Publish trade and curve data to IDAP for analytics and dealer UI exposure.
  • Lead engineering decisions on nested feeder curve implementations (C++ xCurves vs server-side builds) 
  • Mentor engineers across UI, platform, and backend domains to ensure delivery quality and velocity.
