The role sits in the Standard Charted Financial Markets Technology team focusing on the build out of the in-house strategic cross asset risk platform: SABRE, and the strategic market and reference data system: FALCON. It consists in designing and delivering solutions to the users of this platform with an initial focus on Market, Static and Reference data management.
Whilst the SABRE platform has continuously been improved over the years to scale to an ever-increasing user base and a growing number of capabilities, amount of data and computation, its static and market data components have grown organically without going through any drastic transformation. The refreshed FM static and market strategy also provides a unique opportunity to realign the SABRE Static and Market Data Service (MDS) software architecture, interfaces and operational processes to that strategy.
The role consists in joining the team driving the new project to build the strategic market and reference data platform FALCON with unified data interfaces and centralised data store to support the Financial Market intraday and EOD pricing and risk management.
FALCON is Financial Markets’ strategic market and reference data platform, built to unify how the bank sources, stores, manages, and distributes market data across all asset classes. Instead of today’s fragmented landscape — multiple systems, duplicate data flows, inconsistent repositories, and manual curve setups — FALCON provides a single, end‑to‑end data foundation for real‑time intraday prices, historical time series, official EOD snaps, and reference data. It offers a unified API, a cross‑asset data model, and a modern UI for searching, viewing, publishing, marking, and restatement. By centralising market data into one cohesive platform, FALCON improves data quality, ensures consistency for pricing, PnL, and risk, reduces operational complexity, and streamlines onboarding of new market observables. Ultimately, FALCON delivers fast, accurate, and controlled data to all downstream systems—Front Office, Risk, Finance, and Operations—while enabling future automation and scalability.
