Lead Engineer - Equity Derivatives Risk & PnL Solutions

Title: Senior Full Stack Engineer/Equity Derivatives

Location: New York NY (Hybrid /3 days)

Job type: Contract

Overview:
Equities Technology solves some of the most interesting and complex challenges in the financial industry to help our global business and its customers succeed. Shipping code early and often using Agile and DevOps principles is critical for us to deliver business value, with continuous improvement and learning at the center of everything we do.

We are motivated by challenging each other to push the boundaries of financial and technological innovation in an open, inclusive, and diverse environment. We are looking for the brightest and best developers to take our capability forward.

Who we are:
This position is a senior development team role within a new Equities Risk development pod in the wider Equity Derivatives IT team. The Equity Derivatives technology group spans the globe and services all client areas within the bank for Equities-related services. Curiosity and a growth mindset driven by continuous learning are key values within our team.

What we do:
Operating across Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong, Poland, Guangzhou, and Toronto, the Risk and PnL stream in Equity and Securities Financing Technology is responsible for:

• Compute grids: Large-scale computation across thousands of cores for intraday, EOD, and regulatory risk and PnL production.
• Risk Reporting databases and view servers.
• Distributed data services for position, product, market data, and reference data information to provide the correct inputs for the risk systems, including bi-temporal database storage and query.
• Large-scale adoption of cloud computing for our systems.

We provide solutions to customers in all areas of the bank, including Front Office trading and sales, Market Risk, Finance, Product Control, Collateral, and Margin groups.

About the Role:
We re looking for talented developers with a passion for designing, building, deploying, and supporting large-scale systems in a rapidly-moving environment.

Equity Derivatives Technology is undergoing a large transformation project to entirely refresh our platforms for large-scale compute, global data services, pricing, and risk and PnL production. We need experienced developers to help build out these services as we grow the new platform to fulfill our regulatory commitments and power business growth, especially in the structured products space.

The candidate will work on primarily new services, using modern Java on the server side, across our internal cloud and external clouds. Although the role is development-focused, teams are expected to fully support their own applications, including deployment, release management, and user support, all the way to production. As such, this role includes providing a follow-the-sun support model globally for the new Risk services stack in conjunction with the other regional teams in Equities technology.

This role is focused on building out an event-based infrastructure to rework many of our core flows, moving us towards a real-time-by-default environment. You will build, on top of popular open-source data processing frameworks (including but not limited to Apache Kafka), use-cases such as:

• Staging and aggregating billions of regulatory risk result objects each day to send to our Front-to-Back data stores.
• Implementing processing, storage, and service functions for different classes of risk data, pricing inputs, and reference data to provide a universal real-time intraday capability for application clients.
• Promoting, where appropriate, the benefits of event-sourcing architectures and an event-first approach to design.

Your Skills and Experience:
You re an experienced server-side developer with a technical background. You should be able to demonstrate problem-solving ability and be comfortable working in an agile environment with rapid release cycles. The focus will be on developing greenfield services to level up our platform. Roles are full-service, with developers expected to build, test, deploy, and support their products within a global team.

You will ideally have experience with application architectures that take advantage of cloud deployment, offering additional flexibility to reduce downtime and maintenance overhead, respond to changing demand, and optimize cost.

Essential Skills:

• Must be able to lead a team of developers and manage a book of work in conjunction with IT management and business customers.
• Extensive experience with server-side development on top of the Java Virtual Machine.
• Modern Java expertise (version 8 and up, we use 17 for new projects).
• Experience working in agile (SCRUM-related) cycles and coordination with multiple teams of developers and users.
• Knowledge of Continuous Integration products such as TeamCity and Jenkins.
• Solid knowledge of Git version control, and workflows around it.
• Knowledge of distributed systems.

Highly Advantageous:

• Experience working with Equity Derivatives products and systems.
• Knowledge of public cloud infrastructure such as Google Cloud Platform (preferred), AWS, Azure.
• Experience working in financial institutions and regulated IT environments.
• Python development/scripting.
