From core banking platforms to agentic AI , automation, cybersecurity and cloud, we offer a broad tech landscape and many paths to grow. Together, we are shaping secure, responsible and future- proof solutions for our customers and society. Are you ready to take on a new challenge?
Are you an experienced System Engineer who enjoys combining hands-on development with platform stability and continuous improvement? Join Technology Trading FX/MM and help us develop robust and scalable solutions in a business-critical FX trading environment.
Our department is part of Technology Trading and consists of around 60 professionals responsible for the development and maintenance of systems supporting FX trading. We operate in a fast-paced environment where time-to-market, stability and quality are essential to business success.

As a System Engineer in our FX Trading development team, you will work hands-on with the Murex platform, developing new data flows and contributing to a stable, scalable and high-performing trading environment. Using a structured and engineering-focused approach, you will build robust and maintainable solutions that support both current business needs and the platform’s long-term development.
Working closely with colleagues across technology and business, you will analyze and improve application workflows, strengthen system integrations and drive performance enhancements across the platform. A significant part of the role involves investigating and resolving complex production issues, supporting platform upgrades and identifying opportunities to improve operational stability through monitoring, automation and continuous improvement.
You will play an important role in ensuring the reliability, scalability and performance of the platform while working with technologies such as PostgreSQL, Linux and modern DevOps practices.

-
Strong PostgreSQL knowledge, including SQL performance analysis, execution plans, indexing strategies and query optimization.
-
Solid Linux system administration skills, including server management, monitoring and troubleshooting.
-
Experience working in a DevOps environment, including CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation and operational best practices.
- Experience using LLMs as part of your development workflow, either professionally or through personal projects.
Experience working with Murex or another trading or risk management platform would be highly valuable.
What we offer
At SEB, you will join a business-critical FX environment where your work has clear impact on stability, performance, and delivery. You will be part of a skilled and collaborative team, with close interaction across trading, technology, and business. This role offers real opportunity to influence workflows, improve the platform, explore new tools and ideas, and continue developing professionally in a modern engineering environment.
