Group Overview

Risk management needs cutting edge technology to navigate through complex risk scenarios and improve client service. Not only do these challenges bring with themselves computationally complex and data intensive problems to solve but also demand expertise in designing scalable systems that can handle large volumes without buckling.

The Client Portfolio Risk and Margin Technology group is responsible for developing such solutions. The client risk management system is responsible for processing tens of millions trade events a day for a variety of financial assets to compute risk in real-time. It also runs complex simulations to forecast potential risk in hypothetical market scenarios. The system thus produces millions of risk measures per day which are used by various automated processes and internal as well as external users to manage risk.

We are looking for a Java developer who can rewrite specific components of this system to be distributed and be cloud ready. The developer will also be responsible to build a scalable data processing and querying pipeline for the computation results produced by the system.
