Senior Software Engineer (ePricing)

Some careers shine brighter than others.

If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential. Whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.

Your career opportunity

HSBC Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) supports clients and markets with robust, well-controlled trading and risk management capabilities. Within Global FX, the eRisk team partners closely with FX Quant Traders, Cash FX Forward/NDF trading desks, and Quant Analytics to deliver resilient, low-latency pricing and execution capabilities across our eCommerce channels.

Our mission is to build and run forward pricing services that are accurate, scalable, and controllable—so traders can manage risk confidently and clients receive consistent, high-quality prices. We work as one global team across technology, quants, and front office, with strong engineering standards, embedded controls, and a “you build it, you run it” mindset.

What you’ll do

• Build and enhance FX forward pricing services, producing forward prices from rates, futures, and FX broker data for distribution to eCommerce and trading channels.

• Partner directly with eRisk Quant Traders and Cash FX Forward/NDF traders to clarify requirements and translate them into deliverable technical outcomes.

• Deliver pricing control features with traders/quants (e.g., price tiering, derived crossing, manual curve adjustments, spreading, interpolation).

• Evolve the forward pricing infrastructure to support on-demand quoting and curve crossing from eCommerce systems.

• Integrate new pricing models and onboard new market data feeds, ensuring correctness, performance, and operational readiness.

• Produce detailed technical designs, aligning with agreed architecture and engineering standards across the GFX programme.

• Implement solutions using modern SDLC practices (CI/CD, automated unit/integration testing), and complete thorough testing ahead of UAT.

• Support releases and production stability, including participation in intra-day/overnight support rotas when required, driving root-cause fixes and service improvements.

What you need to have to succeed in this role

• Expert Java server-side engineering experience (essential), including deep knowledge of concurrency/multi-threading, memory/GC behaviour, and performance tuning.

• Proven track record delivering and operating global distributed systems in a 24x5.5 trading (or similarly mission-critical) environment (essential).

• Strong low-latency engineering mindset: profiling, optimisation, efficient data structures, and pragmatic trade-offs under real-time constraints.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical outcomes: design ownership, mentoring, code review leadership, and driving engineering standards across a team.

• Strong SDLC discipline: automated unit/integration testing, CI pipelines, release management, and “production-first” operational readiness.

• Solid FX domain understanding, including spot and forward conventions and how pricing is consumed in high-volume eTrading flows.

• Experience building FX/eRates pricing for eCommerce (advantageous); KDB+/q and/or Python also advantageous.

• Self-motivated, delivery-focused, and calm under pressure—able to simplify complex problems and get the right things done quickly and safely.
