Help our trading business build a Front Office risk calculation platform, using the latest cloud-based technologies and distributed stream techniques.
Our trading technology division have been working on a multiyear programme that will deliver a new risk platform, capable of providing real-time as well as end of day risk and profit and loss calculations across all asset classes.
We’re building this platform in-house, with a team of dedicated and highly skilled Engineers. You will be working with the latest technologies including AWS, Docker and Kubernetes and interfacing directly with the business. This platform will be used by our primary revenue generators. If you have worked in a similar environment that would be useful but isn’t essential.
Things you’ll be doing:
- architecting and building solutions from requirements through to delivery
- leading a team of developers working on challenging and complex engineering problems in an Agile environment
- engaging with stakeholders across our global team including business users
- taking ownership and responsibility for the full development lifecycle
- delivering well designed, testable, and efficient code
- setting high technical standards
- enhancing and maintaining the existing code base
- mentoring and guiding the professional and technical development of your team
We anticipate to excel in this role, you will ideally have:
- a proven track record of delivery using core Java skills
- experience architecting and designing technical solutions
- experience providing high technical standards and leadership
- good knowledge of object-oriented analysis and common design patterns
- good interpersonal skills
- hands-on experience with build and dependency management tools
- a willingness to work with various technologies
It would be a bonus if you’re familiar with:
- Cloud platforms (AWS, Google, Azure), Containers, Docker, and Kubernetes
- SQL/NoSQL databases and service-oriented architecture
- Experience working in a Linux development environment
- Hands-on experience with basic shell scripting and Python
In this role you will be able to see first-hand the positive impact your work has, how it supports revenue growth and operational efficiencies, and how we as a firm respond to external challenges and opportunities.
We operate in a flat structure. The members of the team are encouraged to take ownership and accountability of their work, with the empowerment to collaborate with senior members of the business and identify new opportunities.
We encourage our team members to play multiple roles; from business analysis and requirements gathering to delivery and risk management. Through this process our team gains a better understanding of the process of product delivery and has an opportunity to develop different skills and explore different career paths.
The team operates a hybrid working approach, making the most of the benefits of both office-based collaboration and remote working.
Having a Learning Mindset is a key value of our group, and we support our staff by giving them access to a variety of learning resources and industry wide accreditations.
