FTSE Russell is undergoing a significant transformation of its Engineering Organization. We aim to deliver state of the art, cloud native platforms allowing our business to scale and innovate.

The Phoenix engineering platform, rebooted in 2024, is the cornerstone of this transformation.

Having the right technology leadership is critical for our success. We are reinventing ourselves and to this end we are building the strongest Enterprise Architecture practice possible.

Functional And Technical Capabilities

Functionally, the right candidate will have the ability to start from the problem statement and work backward to the technology. A strong expertise in market data, index or financial data analytics is important to bridge product, technology, and business strategy together to design the right technology for scale, efficiency, and long-term architecture.

Technically, the right candidate will be proficient in cloud native architectures, specifically AWS. A strong understanding or reliable, secured, maintainable AWS architectures is key to implement the right trade-offs between cost, security, scalability, testability, and maintainability.

Finally, our Enterprise Architect should demonstrate a passion for building market-leading systems, pioneering cutting-edge financial technology, and shaping the future of the benchmark and indices industry.
