Sound like you?
This firm have been recognised as one of the most successful hedge fund launches ever, and have been going from strength to strength over the last 8 years. They're a global player across multiple asset classes, timezones, holding periods and strategies, with a good blend of proprietary and vendor systems in use here. This means there's a mix of greenfield projects you'll be working on as well as being able to enhance the business capabilities by improving current systems.
The role sits within the Risk Technology team, and reports directly into the Head of Risk Tech; you'll benefit from a flat-structured team here with everyone sharing a common goal to succeed. Liaising with Risk Managers / PMs, building risk calculation models and utilising innovative technology will be your day-to-day here. Supporting the business grow by building sophisticated, low-latency applications is the main remit, and you'll be given everything you'll need to succeed with that.
The culture here is about as collaborative as it gets; a global presence means plenty of opportunity to work with like-minded, driven individuals from all different walks of life. It’s a high-performance environment (and top of the class in their field), meaning your performance-related bonus will be better than most.
They're a Java house, so previous experience building Risk systems in Java is a must here. If you've got exposure / an understanding of Equities /. Fixed Income products then great, but it's more important that you're adaptable in your approach.
Total comp could go up to the £250k mark.
