About the Role
We're the world's leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value - across borders, through cities and overseas. No other organisation can address the scale, precision, pace and trust that this demands, and we're proud to support the global economy.
We're unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value - a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We're always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200+ countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Engineer to join our dynamic Compute and Storage team in charge of storage technologies. As a Lead Storage Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of our Storage Platform.

As a Lead Systems Engineer (Storage), you are responsible for technical leadership within the Compute & Storage team and are a role model for colleagues who can rely on your guidance. You are self-motivated, proactive and thrive in taking ownership of your work. You possess the ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and drive projects forward with minimal supervision. Your proactive nature enables you to see opportunities for improvement, propose innovative solutions, and take the initiative to implement them. Delivering high-quality results and committing to meeting deadlines are key contributors to the success of our team and organization.
