As a leading provider of market infrastructure and tradable products, Cboe delivers cutting-edge trading, clearing and investment solutions to market participants around the world.

We’re building meaningful ways to support professional and personal development while strengthening the trust we’ve earned as a global market leader. Our teams are empowered to share ideas, actively pursue them and bring on a challenge. As champions of internal mobility and access to opportunity, we encourage our people to “go for it” and equip our managers with the training to coach their teams to the next level. We strive to provide employees a safe space to network, share ideas and create opportunities.

To support strong partnership and team connection, this role follows a four day in office work model.

Location Overview

Our offices are located in the prestigious Symphony Offices in the heart of Amsterdam’s financial district. Offering nearly 360-degree views of the city, the workspace is filled with natural light, thanks to spacious floor-to-ceiling windows. The modern layout provides a comfortable and inspiring environment for work, with a well-designed breakout area for informal meetings and relaxation.

The building also features a restaurant on the ground floor, making it convenient for meals and client lunches. With excellent transportation links, the office is easily accessible—just under a 20-minute journey from Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Centraal.

Role Context

Cboe Clear Europe (CCEU) is a systemically important financial institution, providing post-trade services to stock exchanges, multilateral trading facilities, other equities trading platforms and for OTC equities trades. Headquartered in Amsterdam, we service trading platforms and we have clearing participants with headquarters in 14 jurisdictions in Europe, North America and Asia.

Throughout the day our systems perform critical processes that consume large amounts of data. For example, our data flows feed price data from financial markets fed into our risk engine to generate margin calls, settlement instructions and a variety of reports. The Data Engineering team is responsible for all such data pipelines and report generation.

During the day our systems continuously use stock prices to compute the risks associated with ever-changing customer portfolios. To ensure a robust handling of all this data in near-realtime we have recently laid the foundation for a standard data pipelines stack based on Airflow, Python and PySpark. In the near future we will expand usage of these pipelines and explore other strategic technologies like Snowflake for reporting purposes. For this we are looking for a data engineer that can find his/her way around the Python ecosystem and PySpark.
