About the project

HSBC Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) supports clients and markets with robust, well-controlled trading and risk management capabilities. Within this, the XVA function plays a critical role in ensuring derivatives are priced and managed appropriately for counterparty credit risk, funding, capital and collateral impacts—helping the business make informed decisions and meet regulatory and governance expectations.

The XVA programme brings together a global, cross-functional team spanning the United Kingdom, Poland, Canada and Asia, working across time zones as one delivery unit. We partner day-to-day with Front Office, Market Risk, Finance, Treasury, Operations and Model Risk to deliver consistent outcomes across regions, with English as our primary language of communication.

Within the engineering and reliability capability supporting XVA, our focus is on delivering business requirements at pace and owning products end-to-end—from discovery and design through build, testing, release and production support. We translate business outcomes into clear technical deliverables, remove friction through simplification and automation.

Risk and control are central to how we deliver. We build resilient platforms with strong engineering standards, embedded controls, and transparent operational processes—strengthening auditability, reducing operational risk, and ensuring changes move safely and quickly into production.

Joining XVA means working across the full trade lifecycle—from trade capture and market data through valuation, risk, controls and reporting—using modern, market-leading technologies. It’s a transformation programme with real impact: better pricing, stronger risk management and a more resilient platform for the years ahead.

We are seeking talented IT professionals who are passionate about building a career in CIB technology. Above all, we place great importance not only on what we achieve, but also on how we achieve it. In XVA team, you will find an environment that values respect, work-life balance, and personal growth. Achievements are recognised, leadership is transparent about business direction, and you will have clarity on your role within our strategy, with strong managerial support to help you succeed.
