Rates Development and Data
In the Rates Development and Data team, we collaborate with trading and sales to identify improvement points and implement innovative solutions. These are either in the form of custom components for our trading platform or advanced analytics solutions (e.g., ML models or data dashboards). The team combines strong IT/analytical skills with in-depth business knowledge to deliver value to our rates franchise.

FX Business Technology
In FX Business Technology, we are responsible for trading gateways and infrastructure for foreign currency trading at Nordea. We develop and maintain an array of services that are fault tolerant, highly available and have low latency. We work in conjunction with business analysts and operations to identify and refine business and operational requirements. We create value to our customers by delivering reliable software to ensure trading operations are up and running with little to no downtime.
Trading Capital
In the Trading Capital team, we work with all business areas and main stakeholders across Markets to analyse and optimise capital consumption. We combine our in-depth knowledge of financial products, excellent communication with the trading desks and IT tools to achieve this. We create value to the Trading franchise by providing insight into capital development, and we are constantly researching new strategies, products and innovative ideas to improve capital consumption. We look at capital consumption both in the current and future regulatory framework and, therefore, we aim at addressing both compliance to upcoming regulatory requirements and improvement of current capital consumption.

In the Repo Trading team under Securities Finance, we cover EUR, NOK, SEK and DKK repo markets. We excel in cross team collaboration with bond, FX and sales in order to maximize trading profit. We work with effective communication and mutual respect for our internal stakeholders.

xVA Trading
In xVA Trading, we are responsible for hedging all market related derivative Valuation Adjustments that arise from counterparty credit risk and funding. All externally traded derivatives contribute to the xVA risks, so the hedging universe for us is the totality of risk covered by the Markets unit we are part of. We work closely with many other desks in trading and sales and other specialised groups like our capital, quant, IT and risk desks. The tools/models needed in xVA Trading are highly technical and, therefore, we are looking for highly quantitative candidates with interests in the derivative financial market and who are keen on applying quant skills to real world challenges.

In this role, it is required to be fluent in both English and a Scandinavian language.
