Principal Solutions Architect
Company Description
Over the last twenty years, MarketAxess has completely revolutionized the fixed-income market by creating a single platform using proprietary technology that connects the world’s most influential financial institutions.

As a Principal Solutions Architect, you will work closely with teams to design and implement new features and products.

Above all, you will be seen as an expert within your domain from day 1 and will be looked at for creative and new ways to approach problems (both technical and business related).
