Technical Solutions Engineer

• Manage onboarding timelines, track milestones, and communicate progress to internal and external stakeholders.

• Configure and validate client environments across Talos’ modular trading and portfolio systems.

• Troubleshoot integration issues and coordinate resolution with internal engineering teams.

• Develop and maintain onboarding documentation and integration best practices.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in client onboarding or implementation within capital markets or financial technology.

• Strong client-facing communication skills with the ability to lead stakeholders through structured implementation processes.

• Experience working with institutional trading systems, market connectivity, or financial infrastructure.

• Working knowledge of SQL and command line environments.

Preferred

• Experience onboarding clients to trading, OMS, EMS, or portfolio systems.

• Understanding of capital markets workflows and electronic trading infrastructure.
