The environment is fast-moving and highly collaborative, with strong expectations for production ownership, rapid iteration, and high-quality delivery.
Job Responsibilities
Build and enhance Python services and applications that power live Rates risk and P&L, with a strong focus on low latency and predictable performance. Partner directly with traders and risk managers to turn time-sensitive requirements into reliable, production-ready solutions. Own production services end-to-end, including releases, monitoring, incident response, and root-cause analysis. Troubleshoot issues across distributed components, data flows, and runtime environments; drive fixes that reduce recurrence. Improve DevOps and operational readiness, including CI/CD, environment management, dependency management, and automation. Maintain strong engineering standards through code reviews, testing discipline, performance profiling, and clear documentation/runbooks.
Required Qualifications, Capabilities, And Skills
Strong Python development skills, including writing production-quality code with solid testing and packaging practices. Experience building and operating production services, including production support and incident-driven troubleshooting. Practical SDLC discipline across design, implementation, testing, deployment, and release management. Experience with CI/CD and observability (monitoring, alerting, logs/metrics) to keep services stable and measurable. Ability to work closely with front-office stakeholders and deliver effectively when priorities shift. Strong debugging skills and comfort navigating multi-component systems.
