About Clearmatics
Clearmatics
is a fast-growing, venture funded FinTech start-up based in central
London. In partnership with our financial institution clients, we are
developing a distributed clearing machine architecture for OTC markets
using advanced blockchain technology.
Founded in 2015, the moral
imperative of our company is to use technology to help the private
sector and regulators re-engineer the infrastructure of capital markets
to make it more transparent, less centralised, and resilient to
counterparty failure.
Our technology stack enables distributed
automation of post-trade processes, allowing dealers, end-users, and
other members of the capital markets ecosystem to process trades through
light-weight, consortium-governed Decentralised Clearing Networks
(DCNs) rather than centralised post-trade intermediaries.
Working at Clearmatics
We’re
a fast-growing start-up with paying clients, an open source software
business model and a lucrative target market. This brings a number of
benefits, including a high level of autonomy, a flat and intimate team
structure and a lack of bureaucracy. The Clearmatics team is small but
experienced, driven by motivated people who want to build innovative
solutions for a market undergoing rapid change since the financial
crisis.
We offer a competitive salary and significant benefits
in an exciting, friendly and flexible work environment. We are an
equal-opportunities company that values diversity, and welcome all
qualified applicants.
The Role in Context
We
are moving rapidly to define, build and successfully deliver all
functionality for the upcoming USC (Utility Settlement Coin) service. As
a result, OpCo are building a dedicated Product and Project team to
work with both customers and internal technology teams to make sure that
the solution we build meets the requirements of customers and
regulators. As Systems Architect you will be responsible for all systems
analysis, modelling and design of the new service. This will include
significant client engagement and deep systems analysis.
You
will be fully accountable for all service and solutions milestones,
including initial hypothesis through to business analysis, client
engagement and accurate technical documentation through team members.
What You Can Expect and What We Need from You
We
are a rapidly growing business and what we are building has never been
done before. People joining our company must be high energy,
enthusiastic and genuinely motivated by being part of the Clearmatics
journey. It’s hard work joining a start-up and you need to be willing to
juggle multiple tasks, regularly contribute outside of your day-to-day
job role and generally throw yourself into who we are and what we are
doing.
It is essential that our Systems Architect both believes
in the value that Clearmatics adds to the market, and has the in-depth
knowledge of central banking settlements to lead the successful
deployment of the USC and other services. We will encounter new
technical, operational and regulatory challenges and it is essential
that you have both the knowledge and the commitment to guide the
business to success.
We’re asking for a lot, but for the right
person the opportunity is almost limitless. You will be working with
some of the brightest minds in the financial markets and be part of a
journey that will influence and drive the way the industry operates in
years to come.
