Technical Lead designing and implementing Java, AWS, and AI solutions for Datacom. Act as trusted advisor to clients, integrating AI capabilities into applications deployed on AWS.
About the role
- Engage with external stakeholders and clients to understand their needs and design solutions for capturing and integrating their data for it to be utilised on Horizon.
- Work closely with internal stakeholders, including Validus’s quant, risk advisory, and global capital market desks to understand their needs, gather requirements and propose new solutions.
- Build a strong understanding of FX and interest rate products, the related financial markets, and market data sources.
- Support ad hoc maintenance of our applications and scheduled processes.
- Implement cloud-native solutions on AWS, ranging from HTTP APIs to event-driven microservices utilising gRPC. Solutions are built in Rust and Python (with Django/FastAPI web frameworks).
- Design data models for elegantly capturing the business domain of complex trades across multiple asset classes. You will be exposed to several databases, but the primary database for portfolios (investments, leverages and derivatives) will be MySQL and MongoDB.
- Build out performance-critical systems written in Rust, and contribute efficient, testable and maintainable code to our Python codebase with performance and observability in mind.
Requirements
- The ideal candidate will likely hold a Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, mathematics, finance or a related field.
- Experience with financial or market risk modelling is a plus but not required. The role is heavily finance focused, so a keen interest is expected.
- Abstract thinking, an interest in designing financial object models.
- Experience with one or more modern programming languages. We mostly use Rust and Python, but we are keen to speak with strong engineers from any background.
- Experience with databases. We use MongoDB, MySQL and DynamoDB, but experience with other database technologies would also be valuable.
- Experience with AWS is a plus but not required.
- Curiosity to explore new technologies. We are constantly looking for potential technologies to improve our platform.
- Preferred Qualifications/Experience:
