• Maintain and update operational static data within Murex, including counterparties, market rate mappings, new credit index issuers, and index constituents.
• Perform database diagnostics and data validation using Sybase SQL (read-only queries, table joins) and submit structured remediation requests via PC Lite for DBA execution.
• Maintain Murex Simulation Views and Datamart extractions to support daily desk queries and end-of-day operational checks.
• Coordinate and document comprehensive end-of-shift operational handovers to ensure continuity for incoming Western-hemisphere support teams.
• Support minor Change-the-Bank (CTB) activities on an as-needed basis, including testing configuration patches, updating templates, and verifying release deployments.
• Participate in rotational weekend coverage (half-day shift every 4th weekend).

• Interface & Upstream Processing: Practical understanding of electronic trade capture and message intake (Tradeweb, FMC, XML feeds).
• Static Data Configuration: Demonstrated proficiency in maintaining and configuring operational static data, counterparty records, financial market rate mappings, and credit index constituents/issuers.
• Database & Querying: Solid working knowledge of Sybase SQL for diagnostics and troubleshooting (SELECT statements, multi-table JOINs, filtering).
• Operational Execution: Proven experience working in a fast-paced RTB support desk with disciplined shift-handover routines.
• Location & Working Hours: Based within the APAC time zone, able to cover an 8-hour daily shift and rotational weekend coverage (half-day every 4th weekend).
