You will develop a secure JupyterHub environment, build Python‑based APIs, and deliver high‑performance services that query and aggregate risk sensitivities and compute portfolio risk measures (e.g., VaR, Stress) and support what‑if analysis at scale. The ideal candidate combines strong distributed computing and data structures expertise with practical AWS/Kubernetes experience and a product mindset. . Primary Responsibilities:  * Design, implement, and maintain Python microservices deployed on AWS (e.g., EKS, Lambda, ECS) with API Gateway fronting REST/JSON endpoints.  * Develop APIs that allow Risk Managers to query and aggregate sensitivities (delta/gamma/vega/CS01/etc.) by business hierarchies.  * Build compute services for VaR (historical/parametric), Stress testing, scenario expansion, and what‑if simulation (e.g., add/remove trades, shocks, recalcs). * Stand up and manage a secure JupyterHub environment (authentication/authorization, resource quotas, notebook image curation).  * Build scalable, fault‑tolerant services using Kubernetes (EKS), Docker, and infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform/CloudFormation).  * Implement robust caching strategies for low‑latency computations and repeated risk queries.  * Own service reliability: observability (CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana), logging/metrics/tracing, autoscaling, and SLOs/SLAs. * Provide Streamlit apps and dashboards for interactive risk exploration, scenario design, and reporting.  Essential Experience/ Skills:  * 5–7+ years of software engineering experience, including Python microservices in production.  * Strong AWS experience (EKS/Kubernetes, API Gateway, Lambda/ECS, S3, ElastiCache/Redis, CloudWatch).  * Solid SQL skills; designing normalized schemas, indexing strategies, and query optimization.  * Experience with distributed computing, performance tuning, concurrency, and data structures applied to large‑scale aggregation.  * Hands‑on with caching patterns (write‑through/back, TTLs, invalidation, etc).  * Building secure REST APIs with API Gateway (authN/Z, rate limiting, throttling, versioning) and Python frameworks (FastAPI/Flask).  * JupyterHub administration (user management, spawner configuration, profiles, resource policies) and Streamlit app development.  * CI/CD, testing (unit/integration/e2e), and observability tooling (eg: Grafana). * Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or similar technical discipline Personal Attributes: * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex data related issues * Strong verbal and written communication skills * Self-starter and entrepreneurial in approach * Ability to escalate and follow-up proactively * Good time management skills Jefferies is a leading global, full-service investment banking and capital markets firm that provides advisory, sales and trading, research, and wealth and asset management services.
