The London Metal Exchange operates a futures market and clearing arm for industrial metals, part of HKEX Group. Its stack pairs JVM languages and .NET with Kafka and Kubernetes, and it is now adopting Apache Iceberg, Spark, Trino and Flink, signaling a shift toward a lakehouse and streaming data architecture. Senior-weighted hiring across engineering, ops, data and legal tracks regulatory change and model risk work.
