You possess strong skills in SQL and have experience working with large-scale relational databases. Your familiarity with Linux systems enhances your ability to navigate and optimize the development environment effectively.
You are comfortable working in an agile team setting, collaborating with developers across various locations including Canada, India, Hungary, the UK, and the US. Your experience with distributed systems and microservices architecture allows you to design and implement robust solutions that meet the demands of high-frequency market risk calculations.
Your knowledge of Big Data technologies, particularly Apache Spark, is a valuable asset that you bring to the team.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development, and integration of market risk engines that calculate billions in profits and losses daily.

You will participate in all stages of the software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and design to implementation and testing. Your contributions will directly impact the accuracy and reliability of risk assessments used by risk managers and financial regulators.
Collaboration is key in this position, as you will engage with cross-functional teams to ensure that the solutions you develop align with business objectives and regulatory requirements. You will also be involved in code reviews and mentoring junior developers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the team.
