Описание

Tower is hiring a Technical Project Manager to deliver projects within larger programmes across trading technology, exchange and venue change, and market access. The Technical Project Manager will work with trading, development, production engineering, network and infrastructure teams, and will help the team adopt AI to run projects faster and with accuracy.

Задачи

• Running software and infrastructure projects through the full lifecycle
• Delivering and monitoring workstreams of FPGA projects with hardware, firmware, software and trading stakeholders
• Managing individual exchange and venue-driven changes (protocol and feed upgrades, matching‑engine changes, new market access, regulatory deadlines) against deadlines
• Coordinating delivery for global trading strategies across regions and time zones, keeping trading, development, risk, compliance and operations aligned on sequencing and readiness
• Supporting the move into MFT and asset management by planning the data, connectivity, environment and tooling needed to bring new strategies into production
• Coordinating data centre and colocation work, including hardware and network installations, migrations and capacity changes
• Running release governance for your projects: release reviews, pre‑deployment meetings, checklists and coordination of support groups during release windows, escalating issues
• Gathering requirements in internal and external meetings (exchanges, vendors, brokers) and turning them into clear summaries for engineering, operations and trading
• Maintaining accurate plans and documentation in Jira, and Confluence, and reporting on progress, risks and decisions
• Participating in retrospectives and proposing process improvements
• Using AI tools in day‑to‑day delivery and identifying opportunities to automate repeatable workflows
• Following and refining the team’s AI guardrails
• Collaborating with the wider project management group and flagging uses that add risk without saving time

Требования

• At least 3 to 5 years in a project management or delivery role in a trading, technology or financial environment; a high‑frequency or low‑latency setting is preferred.
• Track record delivering cross‑team technical projects against firm deadlines, with growing scope.
• Working knowledge of infrastructure and networking (servers, storage, Linux, colocation and data centre concepts) and of how trading systems reach the market. Depth can be built on the job.
• Familiarity with exchange connectivity, market data and market access in equities, futures, FX or crypto.
• Hands‑on use of AI tools to improve how you work, with examples of time saved, quality improved or process changed.
• Sound judgement, and the confidence to challenge and elevate delivery risks.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field.
• Будет плюсом: Exposure to FPGA, hardware‑accelerated or other latency‑sensitive delivery is an advantage; Understanding of how ML models are built, deployed and monitored is a plus; Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2 or Six Sigma Green Belt) is a plus; A master’s degree preferred; Experience in scripting (Python or shell), C++, git, databases, Kibana and Elasticsearch, or cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) is a plus.
