What’s the role?

Join our Financial Markets Technology team and help support and evolve the KDB+ platform underpinning Westpac’s electronic FX and Fixed Income trading capabilities.

  • Designing efficient, high-performance solutions to complex trading requirements.
  • Partnering with traders, quants and engineers to deliver reliable and compliant technology solutions.
  • Testing and validating solutions against business, regulatory and risk requirements.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve the KDB+ platform and development practices.
  • Providing technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers.
  • Contributing to platform design, technical implementation and operational support.

What do I need?

  • Strong commercial experience developing, operating and supporting KDB+ and KX Dashboard solutions within financial markets.
  • Expert-level KDB+/q programming skills.
  • Experience delivering KDB+/q solutions across FX, Rates or Credit.
  • Experience partnering directly with traders, quants or other front-office stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently within a globally distributed team.
  • A proactive and collaborative approach to solving technical challenges.

Experience with Java or Python, KDB+ version migrations, alpha signal generation, transaction cost analysis or AI-enabled automation would be highly regarded.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
