What kind of work do you do?

I work for a bank as a systems engineer and also serve as a project management.
I work with a system for calculating derivative products, which is complicated financial products, such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps and options.
I occasionally lead development projects to implement our system at overseas blanches.
It's a very hard job but really fulfilling.

I work for a bank as a systems engineer and also work in project management.    I work with a system for calculating derivative products, which are complicated financial products, such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps and options.   I occasionally lead development projects to implement our system at overseas branches.    It's a very hard job, but really fulfilling.

1. Refers to the field, not the actual role.
2, 4, 6. Keep your sentences together in clear paragraphs to improve readability, rather than starting each one on a new line.
3. Refers to more than one.
5. Spelling mistake corrected.
7. A comma is needed before the next clause.
That sounds like a challenging and impressive role. Working with complex financial systems must require a lot of specialized knowledge. What do you find most rewarding about your work?

It's a profound question. When system users tell me that our sysytem is very useful and that they gain huge benefits from it, I feel really fulfilled. Futhermore, when the sales increase as a result of implementing the system, I couldn't be happier.

1. 'Profound' is too deep here.
2. We use ‘the’ when there is only one of something, or we are referring to a particular thing.
That's great to hear! It must be very satisfying to see the direct impact of your work on both the users and the company's success. What do you enjoy most about the process of implementing the system?

It might sound a bit unnatural, but I like the testing phase the most.
However, the most challenging part is the basic design phase, where we define the system architecture, UI and requirements.
During the testing phase, I feel like we are checking the answers to what we designed, and I find it is really fun.

That's interesting! What specific aspects of the testing phase do you find most enjoyable? What are some of the biggest challenges you encounter during the basic design phase?

The testing phase is like playing a game, which means that we try to work well with the sysytem, and when an error occurs, we investigate the root until the problem is clear. In short, the testing phase is all about trial and error. As for the basic design phase, it is very difficult to verbalize users' requirements. We should find their potential needs that they don't realize but that could definitely lead to a problem.

The testing phase is like playing a game, which means that we try to work well with the sysytem, and when an error occurs, we investigate the root cause until the problem is clear. In short, the testing phase is all about trial and error. As for the basic design phase, it is very difficult to verbalize users' requirements. We should find the potential needs that they don't realize they have but that could definitely lead to a problem.

1. You need to say what this refers to.
2. If they don't realise, they would not consider them 'theirs'.
3. We 'have' needs.
It's impressive! You make the work sound both strategic and rewarding. In that case, how do you balance the technical demands with user communication?

The important thing is to listen carefully to users' comments. Actually, to fulfill their requirements, we rarely need to make major system changes. It commonly turns out that their problem can be solved simply by adjusting their business processes.

1. The plural noun is needed here for this general point.
