Operating from our 19 offices, 3 000 Murexians from over 60 nationalities ensure the development, implementation and support of our platform which is used by banks, asset managers, corporations and utilities across the world.

Join Murex and work on the challenges of an industry at the forefront of innovation in a people-centric environment.

You’ll be part of one global team where you can learn fast and stay true to yourself.

Role Overview

The Technical Product Department hosts all the experts who support Murex clients in implementing and maintaining the MX.3 solution.

It includes 5 domains: S4C1, PAC2, CEM3, Test Engineering and Technical Architecture.

The main objective of the Technical Architecture domain is that with Murex involvement throughout the entire life cycle of the instance, the client can optimize the total cost of ownership (TCO) of MX.3 and achieve benefits from innovations and time-to-market.

The mission is to continuously improve the technical quality of the portfolio of MX.3 instances during their entire life cycle through sustainable design, which aims to be better, faster, cheaper, and more flexible.

This approach seeks to reduce time to value, enhance understanding of instance usage and actual business needs, and enable better upgrades for shorter time to market.

To support our transformation, we are looking to hire a Technical Architect to join the team.

You will be based in the Singapore office to drive the deployment of activities for a portfolio of clients in the APAC region.

Your Role and Environment

In today’s environment, solving complex problems throughout the Murex instance life cycle—whether in presales, projects, or production—requires a team to integrate knowledge from various areas of expertise.

We seek individuals with T-shaped expertise: deep knowledge in at least one area (such as S4C or PAC) and the capability to leverage this knowledge across different functional silos.

The Architecture domain aims to enhance the team’s growth and effectiveness.

A Technical Architect at Murex should have broad expertise across multiple disciplines, enabling them to identify patterns and devise solutions.

They break down complex problems into smaller, solvable parts and bridge different expert areas (PAC, S4C, CEM, Test, Project methodology, functional streams), explaining how each person’s work interconnects.

A Technical Architect is characterized by openness to new experiences and a desire for knowledge.
