Lead Financial Risk Engineer

What you'll do:
As Squad Lead you are accountable for both functional quality and delivery:

• Own delivery of business initiatives:

• Collaborate with Product to define scope, acceptance criteria, and timelines for ALM and regulatory features

• Break down initiatives into epics, stories, and technical tasks for the developers in your squad

• Actively manage priorities, dependencies and risks; rescope or phase work when needed to meet deadlines

• Run effective team processes:

• Lead planning, refinement, standups, reviews, and retros

• Ensure work is visible (board hygiene), WIP is controlled, and blockers are surfaced early

• Maintain a healthy balance between feature delivery, technical debt reduction, and model robustness

• Uphold engineering excellence:

• Review key designs and code for calculation paths

• Set standards for test coverage (unit, scenario, regression) and nonfunctional testing (performance, resilience)

• Drive adoption of observability practices (metrics, traces, logs) for your services

• Coach and grow the team:

• Mentor developers on both the domain (ALM, liquidity, regulatory metrics) and engineering (Java, distributed systems)

• Create a constructive feedback culture and encourage shared ownership of calculations and code

How you lead

• You care first and foremost that the numbers are right and explainable, and you insist on code that reflects that

• You are comfortable owning a roadmap: you can say "no", "not now", or "this is the minimal viable slice" when needed

• You translate complex ALM and regulatory requirements into a sequence of concrete, deliverable increments for your squad

• You build a culture where engineers understand:

• The business impact of their calculations (ALCO decisions, regulatory headroom, capital efficiency)

• The engineering standards required to run those calculations reliably at scale

Why we should decide on you:
Functional / Quantitative
• Proven experience working with ALM / Treasury / Risk calculation engines, in a bank or vendor, including:

• IRRBB: Delta NII, Delta EVE, gap/duration analysis, interest rate shock frameworks

• Liquidity risk: cash-flow engines, LCR and NSFR calculations

• Behavioural modelling: prepayment, decay, roll-overs

• Strong understanding of banking products and their risk/liquidity profiles:

• Retail/wholesale deposits, term deposits, loans/mortgages, bonds, off-balance sheet items, and common hedging derivatives

• Ability to discuss and challenge ALM / regulatory assumptions with CRO, Treasury, and Risk stakeholders

Technical / Engineering

• Strong software engineering background in Java (Java 11+ preferred):

• Proven experience designing and implementing performance-sensitive calculation logic

• Solid grip on collections, concurrency, and data processing patterns

• Experience building calculation or analytics services in:

• Batch frameworks, grids/distributed compute, or microservice architectures

• Competent with relational databases (MS SQL Server, Oracle, AzureSQL):

• Understanding schemas for positions, cash flows, scenarios and results

• Comfortable with SQL for efficient aggregations and reconciliation

• Good understanding of:

• RESTful APIs and data contracts (JSON, OpenAPI) for integration (e.g. enrichment APIs)

• Containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and how services are deployed and scaled

Leadership & Delivery

• Prior experience as a Tech Lead / Squad Lead / Team Lead:

• Leading several developers on complex, back-end heavy projects

• Taking end-to-end responsibility for delivering features to agreed timelines

• Demonstrated ability to:

• Translate business/functional requirements into technical plans

• Make trade-offs visible and communicate them clearly to product and stakeholders

• Keep the team focused and productive in a complex domain with changing regulatory context

Nice to Have
• Experience with:

• Apache Ignite or similar distributed in-memory data grids / caches

• WebSocket-based streaming of results and/or high-volume export interfaces

• OLAP / multidimensional analytics tools (e.g. ActiveViam Atoti or equivalent)

• Exposure to:

• Regulatory frameworks (Basel III/3.1, CRR, EBA IRRBB and liquidity guidelines, BCBS 239)

• Model risk governance: model documentation, validation cycles, challenger models

• Familiarity with:

• Observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK)

• CI/CD for Java/Kubernetes-based systems, Helm/Compose-based deployments
