We are seeking an experienced Senior Murex Integration Developer to support a major e-Commodities trading platform implementation.

The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing and implementing the integration between a new electronic commodities trading platform and Murex MX.3, using Murex's new Trade Booking API.

The platform incorporates a vendor RFQ solution and a bespoke pricing engine, with Murex acting as the system of record for trade booking, confirmations, settlements and regulatory reporting.

This is a hands-on technical development role requiring strong experience in Murex integration, external trade booking interfaces, real-time messaging and Straight-Through Processing (STP), alongside a good understanding of commodity derivatives and front-to-back trade processing.

Requirements:

• Strong hands-on experience with Murex MX.3 integration development, including MxML, Murex Exchange, real-time messaging, APIs or equivalent technologies.
• Proven experience developing interfaces that book trades from external trading or execution systems into Murex, including message mapping, validation, STP rules and exception handling.
• Strong understanding of Murex Front Office trade booking workflows and end-to-end trade lifecycle processing.
• Knowledge of Commodity Derivatives or OTC Derivatives, ideally including futures, options and swaps.
• Experience with integration and messaging technologies such as MQ, REST APIs, XML and SQL.
• Ability to translate business requirements into detailed technical specifications and interface designs.
• Experience collaborating with Front Office traders, Business Analysts, developers and testing teams.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across integration testing and production environments.
• Exposure to the new Murex Trade Booking API is advantageous but not mandatory; willingness to undertake training is acceptable.
• Experience with Kafka or other event-driven messaging technologies would be beneficial.
• Previous experience integrating electronic trading platforms, RFQ systems or pricing engines with Murex is desirable.
• Knowledge of Murex Datamart or derivatives reporting feeds would be advantageous.

Key Responsibilities:

• Murex Trade Booking Integration: Design, develop and implement interfaces that automatically book trades from external electronic trading platforms into Murex MX.3, using the new Murex Trade Booking API.
• MxML & Integration Development: Develop and configure Murex integration components, including MxML Exchange workflows, message transformations, interface mappings and real-time trade processing.
• Trade Message Processing: Manage inbound trade messages, including data mapping, enrichment, validation, error handling, exception management and Straight-Through Processing (STP).
• Front Office Integration: Collaborate with Front Office traders, pricing engine developers and Business Analysts to define message specifications and ensure accurate trade capture and booking.
• Commodity Product Integration: Support the integration of commodity derivatives, including futures, options and swaps, ensuring accurate product configuration, reference data and lifecycle processing.
• Workflow & Exception Management: Configure and enhance trade booking workflows, validation rules, exception queues and operational controls.
• Static & Reference Data: Support counterparty, instrument and product reference data requirements for trade booking and downstream processing.
• Testing & Validation: Perform unit testing and support SIT/UAT, validating trade booking, lifecycle events, confirmations, settlements and downstream system integration.
• Reporting Integration: Support derivative reporting feeds and relevant downstream data requirements from Murex.
• Documentation & Deployment: Produce technical documentation, interface specifications and operational runbooks, supporting go-live and early-life stabilisation.
