Risk Developer – Global Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund - Small Team - Market Leading Compensation - London
We are working with a technologically advanced global investment firm known for its deep commitment to innovation, analytical rigour, and long-term thinking. With offices across London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Europe, and more than $12 billion AUM, the firm has grown rapidly in recent years, underpinned by a strong engineering culture that fuses quantitative research, high-performance computing, and collaborative problem-solving.
Their approach combines cutting-edge technology with intelligent risk-taking — building systems where human insight and machine precision work seamlessly together. Engineers here are trusted to think critically, take ownership, and design solutions that directly shape the firm’s investment decisions and risk management capabilities.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity for a Risk Developer to join the firm’s Global Risk Development team in London, a small, high-impact group responsible for the technology that supports internal P&L and risk reporting across asset classes and regions.
You’ll work at the intersection of finance, data, and engineering, helping to design, build, and maintain the systems that allow risk and portfolio teams to measure performance and make informed decisions in real time.
The team operates globally, with engineers based in London, Hong Kong, and Europe, collaborating closely across time zones and disciplines.
Key Responsibilities
* Enhance and support the firm’s global risk and P&L reporting infrastructure, a critical component of the firm’s decision-making framework.
* Develop and maintain data workflows, from transformation and validation to visualisation and reporting.
* Investigate and resolve production issues, performing real-time debugging and applying structured problem-solving under pressure.
* Read, refactor, and extend large, organically grown codebases to improve reliability, maintainability, and performance.
* Collaborate closely with risk managers, quantitative analysts, and developers to deliver high-quality solutions that balance speed and precision.
Ideal Profile
* 2–7 years’ experience in software development, ideally with exposure to data-rich or analytical environments.
* Proficiency in Python or a comparable scripting language, with solid experience using Git and collaborative coding workflows.
* Strong analytical and debugging skills, and the ability to reason through complex system interactions.
* Familiarity with financial instruments or risk concepts is an advantage, but intellectual curiosity and technical rigour are valued above direct finance experience.
* Comfortable working in a distributed global team, with clear communication and ownership of delivery.
What You’ll Gain
* The chance to work in a technology-first investment environment, where engineering is a core function — not a support role.
* Exposure to global markets and real-world risk systems, with a direct line of sight to how your work influences investment outcomes.
* An intellectually challenging environment that rewards curiosity, technical excellence, and collaboration.
* The opportunity to contribute to a modern, evolving codebase that underpins one of the most sophisticated trading and risk management platforms in the industry.
