Senior PostgreSQL Engineer

Our client: Montrose Software has an ongoing relationship with one of the largest North American banks to enhance and maintain its production libraries and applications. The bank serves 17 million clients worldwide and provides personal and commercial banking, wealth management, insurance, investor services, and capital markets products and services globally. We work mainly with their capital markets teams, focusing on derivatives and fixed income systems.

Project description: The bank made a strategic decision to migrate the rates trading platform from a legacy system to Murex. As the new system passes data in a new format, our team is to implement and enhance the system capabilities to transform between Murex format and FpML, as well as create a new bridge that will allow booking of trades in FpML form into Murex. The system supports a wide variety of financial products, starting from simple FRAs and Swaptions to complex products. As part of this project will be migrating DataServices and related trade store functionality from the current .NET/SQL Server/windows stack to a new Java-based architecture running on Linux which uses PostgreSQL as storage.
