Spanish financial market infrastructure operator owned by SIX
BME operates Spain's stock exchange and financial market systems as part of the SIX Group, which manages market infrastructure across Switzerland and 30+ countries. The tech stack—Java, Spring Boot, Oracle, and modern DevOps tools (Ansible, OpenShift, Argo CD, Terraform)—reflects a financial services organization mid-transition to cloud-native operations. Active hiring across engineering and data roles, combined with projects focused on orchestration-as-code, GitOps pipelines, and stress-testing systems, signals investment in automation and resilience to meet regulatory and operational demands.
