Job description

Murex is a global fintech leader in trading, risk management and processing solutions for capital markets.

Operating from our 19 offices, 3 000 Murexians from over 60 different 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 and thrive 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.

To support our transformation, we are looking to hire a Technical Architect to join the team! You will be based in Singapore office to drive the deployment of activities for a portfolio of clients in the APAC region.

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.

The Architecture domain seeks such professionals to enhance the team's growth and effectiveness.

A Technical Architect in Murex should have a broad expertise across many disciplines, allowing them to identify patterns and devise solutions.
