Job Description:

What you will do

product owners, market experts, and engineering teams to deliver solutions that are technically robust and aligned with business ambition.

You will help modernise our trading technology by applying contemporary design patterns, cloud-native engineering principles, and architecture

governance that supports performance, scalability, resilience, and future growth. You will provide architectural leadership across internal teams

and vendor partners, ensuring alignment through the full delivery lifecycle. You will also play a central part in shaping trading capabilities

across front-, middle-, and back-office workflows—ensuring that every component, from deal capture to optimisation,

scheduling, settlement and reporting, works seamlessly together.

Key areas of focus

Architecture & Design

• Own the target architecture for Endur-enabled trading capabilities, document key decisions, and make thoughtful trade-offs.
• Translate complex business requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions designed for real-world trading conditions (availability, latency, resiliency).

Endur / ETRM Platform Leadership

• Lead architecture and design across Endur programmes (new capabilities, upgrades, integrations, and platform modernisation).
• Define integration patterns between Endur and surrounding systems (market data, scheduling/optimisation, risk, settlements, reporting, data platforms).

Domain Advisory (Gas & Power)

• Act as a trusted advisor on physical energy trading processes (front-to-back lifecycle), ensuring designs reflect how trading actually operates.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work with developers, data engineers, product teams, UX, vendors, and consultants; guide design reviews and drive consistency across teams.
• Reinforce Agile/DevOps ways of working, CI/CD practices, and operational readiness.

What you will need to be successful

Required (must-have)

• Significant hands-on Endur (Openlink) experience delivering and shaping solutions in a production energy trading environment.
• Strong experience in physical Gas and/or Power trading, including lifecycle processes such as deal capture, scheduling/nomination, optimisation, settlements/invoicing, risk/PnL and reporting.
• Proven track record leading architecture on complex trading programmes, including governance, design authority, and stakeholder management.
• Strong understanding of non-functional requirements for trading platforms: performance, resiliency, security, auditability, and operational support.
• Experience with modern architecture patterns: microservices, messaging/event-driven design, caching, and API strategy.
• Strong communication skills (written, verbal, visual) and ability to work across business and technology teams.

Technical capability (expected)

• AWS cloud services (strongly preferred) and cloud-native patterns
• C# or Java
• Containerisation (Kubernetes / Docker / OpenShift)
• Infrastructure as code (Terraform)
• Integration and messaging (APIs, JSON/Swagger/OpenAPI, AMQ or similar)
• CI/CD and DevOps tooling; Git-based workflows

Nice to have

• Endur modernisation experience (e.g., upgrades, cloud migration, platform re-architecture)
• React familiarity for UI collaboration
• Data architecture experience supporting transactional + analytical models, reconciliation, real-time reporting, distributed caching, and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB)
• Experience working with vendor-led delivery and multi-team programmes
