About the role
An established, well-capitalized financial technology firm operating at the intersection of institutional banking and digital connectivity. We power seamless access between global financial institutions and premier product providers.
We are currently expanding our derivatives vertical and looking for a specialist to lead a high-impact greenfield initiative.
The Role:
We are building a new FX Structured Products execution and pricing module from scratch. This includes complex instruments such as DCN Options, TARFs, and Pivots.
We need someone who can:
Bridge the gap between structured product engineering and elegant trading technology.
Lead product strategy while staying deeply hands-on with requirements, workflows, and technical execution.
Own the full lifecycle—from pre-trade RFQ design to post-trade event processing.
What You'll Actually Do:
Define & Prioritize: Shape the product roadmap and feature backlog. Decide what gets built and when.
Design User Journeys: Create intuitive UI mockups and workflow diagrams for price requests, order execution, and real-time position management.
Map the Entire Lifecycle: Engineer end-to-end trade flows—covering pricing, execution, allocations, confirmations, and corporate actions.
Write Crystal-Clear Specs: Break down complex logic into detailed user stories in Jira. Lead Agile ceremonies and keep delivery on track.
Lead the Tech Conversation: Partner closely with developers and DevOps. Guide architectural decisions and challenge technical trade-offs to ensure a high-performance, scalable solution.
Who You Are (The Must-Haves):
FX Derivative Native: 7–8+ years working directly with FX Options, TARFs, Pivots, or similar structured products. You know the mechanics, the pricing nuances, and the institutional workflows inside out.
Tech-Savvy Product Leader: Proven experience as a Product Owner, Lead BA, or Product Manager inside an Agile engineering environment. You don't just write tickets—you understand the underlying system logic.
UX-Driven Thinker: You have designed or significantly influenced the UI/UX of a B2B financial trading platform (single-dealer, multi-dealer, or institutional investment tools). You instinctively know what makes a workflow smooth or clunky.
Tooling: Jira is your second home.
Leadership Presence: You can drive a cross-functional team from vague requirements to polished implementation. You push back when necessary and align stakeholders effectively.
Problem-Solving DNA: Highly analytical, deeply curious, and not afraid to get your hands dirty in the details.
Bonus: Familiarity with the FIX protocol is a distinct advantage.
Academic Background: We tend to see exceptional analytical discipline from graduates of top-tier institutions like HKUST—but talent trumps pedigree.
Why You Should Consider This:
Greenfield Build: This is not maintenance work. You are shaping a brand-new product from day one.
Institutional Scale: Your work will directly impact how major financial institutions trade complex derivatives globally.
Agile & Flat: No excessive bureaucracy. Decisions happen fast. Your voice carries weight.
Competitive Package: Base salary + performance incentives aligned with your seniority and impact.
