The Core Technology team creates the systems that deliver the optimisation services to clients. It is this team’s responsibility to design and build systems that permit financial market participants to securely provide risk and trade data to the company, to deliver that data to the optimisation services developed by the financial engineers, and to return the output of those computations safely back to the participants in a timely manner. In addition, the systems should provide feedback to the clients to help them understand the results as well as how they can modify their parameters and data to gain improvements in the future. Our systems live in the cloud, hosted by AWS, and leverage lambdas, EC2, RDS, and Redshift. The successful candidate will work as part of a team of 5-10 engineers to build and research improvements to the applications & environment. They will work directly with the Product Development team to enhance the services based on feedback from clients and analysis of runs as well as on strategic projects. Examples of possible projects, which involve writing software in python, include: Designing and building a new workflow to run data quality (DQ) checks on financial data submitted by the clients. Collaborate with the Analytics team to leverage their pricing algorithms in our DQ checks. Building the internal portal screens used by the Product team to perform the optimisations. Implement the code providing connectivity to external booking systems, trade stores, etc. Enhance our task queueing system to improve resource utilisation.
