About the Role

Phi Partners is supporting a major global investment bank in New York on its Murex MX.3 platform, with an established team of Phi consultants already embedded in the bank’s technical delivery.

• Build and deliver deployment packages (binaries, configurations, scripts) with documentation
• Coordinate release cycles with QA, DevOps, Functional teams and client IT
• Resolve technical platform and environment-level issues, from low-level system and connectivity problems to performance, compatibility and resource allocation
• Debug Murex binaries and troubleshoot system crashes or performance degradation
• Set up and configure resource monitoring tools (CPU, RAM, disk, network I/O, etc.), monitor environment health and perform capacity planning
