Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKieran Othen is an experienced engineering leader and hands-on Clojure engineer with over a decade of experience building distributed systems for major financial institutions. Currently an Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase in London, he has a long track record leading rates, pricing and risk technology teams at Citi and Barclays, and previously cut his teeth in derivatives IT at LIFFE. He combines senior leadership — including a stint as CTO of Citi’s London Innovation Lab — with deep technical craftsmanship, particularly in low-latency, risk-sensitive trading and pricing platforms. Kieran pairs a first-class Computer Science degree from Queen Mary with pragmatic delivery skills, mentoring teams to ship reliable, auditable systems under regulatory and market pressure. Less obvious: he bridges research-minded engineering and production operations, able to drop into code while shaping strategic technology direction across complex, mission-critical landscapes.
