The Integration Developer will be responsible for the design, build, testing, deployment, and support of market data connectors feeding the Pricing Engine, with a primary focus on Bloomberg B-PIPE and LSEG Real-Time Market Data System (RTMDS). The scope covers real-time streaming and snapshot/reference data flows supporting pricing, curve construction, and quoting workflows across Global Markets. This is a hands-on individual contributor role within the Integration squad, working closely with Front Office technology, Quants, Market Data, Architecture, and the vendor technical teams.

- Propose connector solution designs in line with company guidelines and enterprise architecture standards.
- Build, test and deploy Bloomberg B-PIPE and LSEG RTMDS connectors covering real-time streaming, snapshot, and reference data flows into the Pricing Engine.
- Develop normalization, mapping, and enrichment logic so instruments, tickers, and curve inputs are consistently represented across Bloomberg, LSEG, and internal sources.
- Implement resilience and data quality controls: source failover, stale-tick and gap detection, recovery/replay, throttling, and conflation.
- Ensure entitlement-aware consumption in line with Bloomberg and LSEG licensing terms, including display, non-display, and redistribution constraints.
- Optimize latency and throughput through performance profiling, capacity sizing, and tuning of subscription models.
- Deliver monitoring, alerting, and operational dashboards, and provide efficient L2/L3 production support.
- Navigate the FAB IT Delivery Process, produce interface specifications and support documentation, and maintain audit readiness.
- Be a team player with good communication skills, capable of building a network across internal teams and third-party vendors, while respecting timelines.

- Experience building high-throughput, fault-tolerant data pipelines using messaging or streaming technologies (MQ, Kafka, or equivalent).
- Good understanding of market data content and pricing inputs across FX, IRD, FI and MM, including curves, volatility surfaces, and reference data.
- Working knowledge of market data licensing and entitlements, display versus non-display usage, and vendor contractual constraints.
- Familiarity with pricing and trading platform ecosystems and with downstream STP flows into Murex and risk systems.
