The front end of the new platform is based on the GWT framework and the back end services are Java based. The services communicate with our Oracle database using Hibernate.

We are using our own light version of the Scrum methodology.

The position is temporary as a key member of the team will be on maternity leave from end of September 2012 and until September 2013.

The most competitive e-Markets offering

e-Markets is the electronic platform for Capital Markets in Nordea. The platform offers online trading in foreign exchange and money markets, real-time quotes, news and research. Our customers access the platform either via our proprietary GUI, third-party vendors or directly via so-called FIX interfaces to support system-to-system integration. To meet our clients demands the platform will also be expanded to mobile devices in the future.

The business area is of significant importance for the business and presents great opportunities for us; however, succeeding in constantly delivering solutions is a challenge to us as there is a constant growing need for more electronic services in our business as well as a strong focus on system speed, concurrency and scalability.

The e-Markets organisation is located closely to the trading floor in Copenhagen. We work according to our own version of a scrum development model and engage directly with business stakeholders from Sales, Trading, and directly towards customers. We take part of everything in the development phase from design and idea generation to final deployment and roll-out and when we find it simple, realistic and opportunistic we will make use of IT outsourcing on selected areas.
