You will contribute to applications and services that process market, position, and reference data and help enable risk calculations such as sensitivities/Greeks, VaR, PFE, and XVA. This role emphasizes continuous learning, collaboration across product, quant, and engineering teams, and disciplined software engineering practices. As you grow in the role, you will take on more design responsibilities, improve system components, and influence best practices. Successful engineers demonstrate strong problem-solving ability, clear communication, solid coding habits, and a collaborative team mindset. Responsibilities: Develop, enhance, and maintain software applications and services used in risk workflows and data processing. Collaborate with product managers, quants, and engineering peers to clarify requirements and translate them into functioning code. Participate in design discussions and propose improvements that support scalability, performance, and maintainability. Build and maintain integrations and pipelines for trade, position, and market data. Write unit and integration tests and contribute to overall code quality and reliability. Perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis to resolve defects and improve system stability. Assist in story creation, effort estimation, and delivery planning within an Agile environment. Document implementation details, design decisions, and APIs to support knowledge sharing and maintainability. Support CI/CD processes, build pipelines, and release activities. ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
