The Flow Risk system combines low-latency calculation farms with a grid-based architecture to provide highly-scalable services to Front Office and other users. The system will provide live ticking data to desktops, and will also feed data to finance and regulatory reporting systems.
The role will include

Experience with high-throughput low-latency systems, grid-based architectures, and equity derivative products is an advantage. The ideal candidate will be able to produce well-tested, documented, performant code to tight schedules. The ability to work with other groups (production management, infrastructure, traders, quants) is an advantage.
