Responsibilities:

It is expected that this migration will be an incremental process over a period of years.

  • Leading the implementation of the prototypes and follow-on work
  • Presenting proposed solution architecture and plans to Euroclear management, customers & team-members
  • Acting as technical authority for the new solution under the new technical stack

    • leading the implementation of platform-independent and database independent applications
    • working with Financial Market Infrastructure and/or Regulated environments
