Education Level: Bachelor's Degree - Required
Education Level: Bachelor's Degree - Required
Job Level: Consultant (5+ Years of Experience)
Team Profile:
The Corporate Trading and Risk Department develops software that enables client to sustain and grow its highly successful fixed income cash & derivative trading businesses - a key growth area for the Firm. Traders, strats and risk managers use our systems to monitor their daily risk and profit & loss, and to run 'scenario' calculations to assess the potential effect of changes in market conditions.
We are looking for a strong developer to join our global team, where we work on projects from risk models and market intelligence tools to distributed calculation infrastructure, in our advanced Scala-based system as well as a Java-based one, co-operating with many other teams across various areas such as Fixed Income, Equities and Corporate Finance.
Role Profile:
You will be a hands-on Scala/Java developer involved in the full development lifecycle, focusing on bond position management & risk models and their integration with other systems to support the firm's new initiatives, as well as abundant opportunities to work on
a) other functionalities such as calculation infrastructure (e.g. distribution, caching) and workflow automation.
b) GUI that empowers users to view/manage relevant data
c) other financial products
The job will require an inquisitive mind. You need to have a strong interest and capability to
- gain proficiency in Scala in a short period of time, if that's not your primary programming language already,
- learn about the relevant financial products if you don't already understand them,
- apply such knowledge to the work on realtime systems based on both OpenSoure (e.g. Kafka, Zookeeper) and proprietary technologies.
- take on production issue troubleshooting, as well as performance profiling/tuning
In addition, you will also have exposure to many other exciting technology solutions on the same Scala platform created by hundreds of people.
You will work in a dynamic and multi-cultural environment, collaborate with several global teams within, and sometimes outside, Fixed Income, and interact directly with the trading desk to support their function.
Qualifications & Skills Required:
Strong Scala or exceptional Java
Strong analytical skills
Experience in performance tuning
Ability to navigate a large and complex code base
Data structures, design patterns, multi-threaded programming and distributed computing
Continuous integration
Qualifications & Skills Desired:
Financial knowledge, especially in bond
