* Develop and maintain high-performance services in an OOP language, with strong focus on clean architecture and modular design.

* Collaborate with risk managers, PMs, and other engineering teams to deliver production-grade risk tools and analytics.
* Drive innovation within risk infrastructure, leveraging modern technologies to modernize data processing and enhance system resiliency.
* Provide Level 3 production support for global users and continuously iterate based on business feedback.

* Background in risk technology or quantitative engineering within the financial services industry.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical ideas into actionable business value.
