  • Design, build, and maintain risk engineering systems across the full stack, with a focus on commodities risk and market data pipelines;
  • Take high-level, loosely defined requirements from trading and risk stakeholders and independently infer the detail needed to deliver correct, production-ready solutions;
  • Contribute to multiple daily releases in a CI/CD environment — writing code that is testable, observable, and safe to ship continuously;
  • Work within and help evolve cloud-native, engineering-led platforms, applying modern infrastructure and deployment practices;
  • Collaborate closely with quants, traders, and risk managers to ensure systems accurately reflect market and risk realities;
  • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and architectural decisions with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset;
  • Identify and address technical debt without being asked.

Must have

  • Solid understanding of commodities markets — price risk, mark-to-market, curves, and market data flows;
  • Experience building or maintaining systems that consume and process market data at scale;
  • Proficient Python practitioner — you write clean, idiomatic, well-tested code as a matter of habit;
  • Working knowledge of full-stack development: comfortable across backend services, APIs, and front-end interfaces as needed;
  • Experienced with cloud-based platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and the engineering practices that go with them — containerization, infrastructure-as-code, managed services;
  • Fluent in agentic development workflows — you use AI-assisted tooling (e.g. Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) as a natural part of your SDLC, not as a novelty; comfortable with AI-generated code review, test generation, and iterative refinement within a fast-release pipeline;
  • Comfortable operating in a high-velocity delivery environment with multiple releases per day;
  • Disciplined about testing, observability, and rollback — you ship fast without being reckless;
  • Able to take ambiguous, high-level requirements and drive them to completion without hand-holding.

Nice to have

  • You are direct, low-ego, and focused on outcomes
  • You push back when something doesn't make sense, and you do it constructively
  • You take ownership — if something is broken or unclear, you fix it or clarify it rather than waiting for someone else to
  • You are easy to work with under pressure
  • You have strong opinions, loosely held
