Global settlement and custody infrastructure for capital markets
Euroclear operates one of the world's largest settlement networks for bonds, equities, derivatives, and funds across domestic and cross-border flows. The tech stack reveals a mid-modernization pattern: heavy .NET/C# and Java backend with React frontends, running on Azure and Kubernetes, while actively adopting Corda and Ethereum Virtual Machine alongside cloud-native tooling (Azure DevOps, Terraform). The hiring mix is engineering-heavy (102 roles) with outsized security investment (41 roles), reflecting both legacy system migration pressure and the compliance/risk surface inherent in financial infrastructure.
Notable leadership hires: Test Lead, SCADA Technical Lead, Engineering Lead, Chief Compliance Officer, Technology Director Digital Asset
