Job Description
Validus is looking for a financial software engineer to join our back-end team. This team is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining the systems and services powering the rapidly growing, award-winning technology offering at Validus.
The back-end team is part of the broader technology team working in collaboration with quants, frontend and platform engineers. Our teams work together to grow our award-winning tech platform, Horizon. Horizon comprises multiple applications for trade execution, portfolio management and risk analysis for alternative asset managers in various domains, such as private equity, private debt and real estate.
Key Responsibilities:
- 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:
- Experience with financial risk management software or platforms.
- Knowledge of AWS computing platforms and services.
Benefits
Validus Risk Management is an independent technology-enabled advisory firm specialising in the management of FX, interest rate and other market risks. We work with institutional investors, fund managers, and portfolio companies to design and implement strategies to measure, manage and monitor financial market risk, using a market-tested combination of specialist consulting services, trade execution and innovative risk technology.
Working at Validus can offer an exciting opportunity for both personal development and professional growth. Share in our mission to become the largest and most respected specialist provider of financial market risk services in the world. Notable benefits include a competitive remuneration package (salary + bonus), health care, retirement plans, and financial support towards professional qualifications.
