Position Description

Bridgenext is seeking an experienced Derivatives Developer to join the Derivatives Technology team and design, develop, test, maintain, customize, integrate, and support solutions on a leading derivatives trading and risk platform such as ION Findur (OpenLink Endur), Calypso, Murex, or an equivalent system. The platform serves as a core system of record for derivative transactions, valuations, risk metrics, and accounting.

The role requires deep hands-on platform expertise, strong full-stack and integration development capabilities, and a solid understanding of OTC derivatives across the complete trade lifecycle. The developer will build reliable, secure, and scalable solutions that support front-, middle-, and back-office trade-servicing functions.

The successful candidate will work closely with business stakeholders, operations analysts, Business Analysts, Product Owners, technology, security, vendor teams, and cross-functional delivery squads to translate requirements and deliver high-quality, production-ready software solutions.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Design, develop, configure, and unit test platform customizations in accordance with approved functional and technical standards
• Enhance and support derivative trade-servicing capabilities across trading, treasury, and investment management functions
• Implement and maintain platform workflows for trade booking, confirmations, valuations, risk calculations, collateral events, accounting, reporting, and settlement
• Build and maintain custom scripts, modules, interfaces, and supporting applications within and around the derivatives platform
• Develop and support integrations with upstream and downstream platforms, including trade capture, market data, confirmation, settlement, accounting, risk, and reconciliation systems
• Work with enterprise and vendor platforms such as Bloomberg EMSX, FX Connect, MarkitServ, AcadiaSoft, TriOptima, and DTCC, as well as internal trade, risk, and reference-data systems
• Develop and support FpML file generation, validation, transmission, and processing
• Support platform databases and reporting queries using strong SQL and data-analysis practices
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines, source-control practices, code recompilation, release management, and deployment automation aligned with a DevSecOps delivery model
• Participate in platform upgrades, including version-impact assessment, code recompilation, version testing, regression testing, and deployment validation
• Participate in sprint planning, story refinement, estimation, and Program Increment (PI) planning ceremonies
• Collaborate with Business Analysts and Product Owners to clarify business requirements and translate them into effective technical solutions
• Support cloud resilience and disaster-recovery capabilities, including derivatives workloads hosted on cloud infrastructure (e.g., Azure AKS) where applicable
• Apply least-privilege access, security-group controls, access reviews, encryption, audit logging, and other enterprise security standards
• Ensure code quality through peer reviews, unit testing, technical documentation, and adherence to approved engineering standards; participate in technology evaluations and proof-of-concept initiatives
• Provide production support, including troubleshooting, incident resolution, root-cause analysis, performance tuning, and system optimization

Must Have Skills:

• Platform & Derivatives Domain
  • Deep hands-on knowledge of a leading derivatives platform such as ION Findur (OpenLink Endur), Calypso, or Murex, including scripting, configuration, administration, trade booking, valuations, risk modules, and accounting modules
  • Experience developing and maintaining platform customizations, scripts, modules, interfaces, and integrations across upstream and downstream trade, market-data, confirmation, settlement, accounting, risk, and reconciliation systems
  • Strong derivatives domain knowledge of OTC products such as swaps, options, futures, and forwards
  • End-to-end understanding of the derivatives lifecycle — booking, confirmation, valuation, collateral, settlement, accounting, and reconciliation — including lifecycle events such as partial buyouts, corporate actions, and qualified purchases
  • Practical understanding of valuation, pricing, and risk management, including market data, Greek sensitivities, and volatility surfaces
  • Knowledge of collateral management processes, including cleared swaps, futures margining, and Uncleared Margin Rules (UMR) reconciliation

• Market Systems & Production Support
  • Experience with market, trading, and portfolio platforms such as Bloomberg, Reuters, and Aladdin

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with Bloomberg EMSX, FX Connect, MarkitServ, AcadiaSoft, TriOptima, DTCC, or similar market and vendor platform integrations
