## Description

The front office RAD technology team is responsible for maintaining and building trading desk tools, both bespoke to pods and general to a desk. The team sits within the Front office technology group which also contains Quant Research and the Risk and Data Technology teams., The primary focus of this role is to work closely with traders and meet any of their RAD tool requirements. Requirements vary from small risk reports using data outputted from core systems to large trading workflow and risk systems, scenario tools, etc. Any technology can be used to fulfil these requirements, but a pragmatic approach is required at all times. Key factors include time to market, fit for purpose, and code reusability. Traders prefer Excel front ends, so the solution generally involves Excel front ends underpinned by C# library functions, Mongo and SQL Server databases. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with front office experience to further grow exposure to cross-asset products and deliver a solution whose benefits are highly visible and desired by business sponsors.
