Your career opportunity
Market Securities & Services (MSS) is the “investment bank” for HSBC. The Global Foreign Exchange (GFX) business is a key component within HSBC’s MSS division. Our businesses generate millions of transactions across a range of financial markets. Our IT teams design and develop modern systems covering all aspects - trading in the markets, sales and customer tools, handling transactions and building financial and regulatory reporting.
This role is working within the Market Securities & Services (MSS) division, where technology is central to all aspects of our business – for example electronic trading in the financial markets.
River is the first ever HSBC-built Cash FX primary trading system (PTS). We are a 170 strong global team located across New York, Toronto, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, London and Krakow. The team covers a wide area of functions including:
- Risk delivers client facing applications including risk management.

- RODS manages trade storage.
What we do:
We are building an in-house platform to support all primary functions for FX Trading (pricing, booking, routing, risk management and valuations) which is replacing a vendor platform. Our pods adhere to the DevOps ethos and work closely with the FX traders. Everyone in the team develops and releases components of the system into production.
