Role Description:

We are seeking a Senior Associate Developer (5-6 years' experience) to join the Market Risk Technology team.

The role emphasizes hands-on delivery, data quality, performance, and collaboration with risk and business stakeholders, with ownership from planning through production and support.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement Market Risk data pipelines in Python-from ingestion and transformation through delivery to analytics consumers.
  • Own projects/features end-to-end: scope work, align with stakeholders, plan sprints, track progress, and deliver to SLAs.
  • Apply data quality controls (validation, reconciliation, lineage) and monitor SLAs to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
  • Improve performance and reliability of batch and near-real-time workflows through profiling and targeted optimization.
  • Translate risk/business requirements into clear technical tasks and deliver features through Agile sprints.
  • Automate routine workflows (packaging, testing, CI/CD, scheduling) and contribute to coding standards and reviews.
  • Participate in production support, assist with incident resolution, and document fixes and runbooks.
  • Create concise technical documentation, share knowledge with the team, and mentor junior engineers as needed.
Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 5-6 years of hands-on Python for data processing and automation (e.g., pandas; packaging, testing).
  • Solid understanding of data modeling and ETL/ELT patterns; experience building maintainable pipelines.
  • Experience implementing data quality checks and operational monitoring aligned to accuracy/timeliness goals.
  • Proficiency with Git-based workflows and CI/CD; familiarity with production change management.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of a project or feature set, coordinate across teams, and deliver on time.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills; collaborative approach with risk and business stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • SQL skills in at least one major dialect (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL), including performance tuning.
  • Experience with Databricks (Python notebooks, Delta Lake/Unity Catalog) and/or PySpark.
  • Knowledge of cloud data platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure), including object storage (S3/ADLS) and IAM basics.
  • Familiarity with market risk concepts (e.g., sensitivities/Greeks, VaR, stress testing, limits, P&L decomposition).
Experience using generative AI tools for code generation, testing, and developer productivity (e.g., accelerating boilerplate, refactoring, and documentation), with appropriate engineering controls (peer review, automated testing, and secure usage practices).
