Implement and enhance Java-based analytics, tooling, and orchestration layers, including integration with C++ components
Refactor and modernize existing systems to improve performance, maintainability, and operational efficiency.
Work on evolving risk computation workflows from end-of-day batch processing toward intraday and near real-time processing.
Collaborate closely with engineers, product partners, and stakeholders to translate requirements into robust technical solutions.
Apply strong engineering discipline to produce clean, well-tested, and maintainable code in a production environment.

Requirements

• Undergraduate Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
