The Mission
In the Financial Market (FM) environment, building a platform integrating your own pricing and risk models is crucial to stay in control of your risk while keeping a competitive edge.
We currently have three openings in the following projects within the FM environment:

The Trade Store project is one of the essential applications within the IPA domain. It serves the strategic Area purpose of pricing trade portfolios in a uniform way, regardless of data formats or additional complexities of various deal capture systems within the bank (e.g. Murex, Summit). Aside from secondary purposes, the Trade Store application is responsible of:

• Capturing all trade feeds within the bank via various integration methods, and handling their lifecycle;
• Modelling the data in a uniform format based on each specific product using Google protocol buffers and compressed serialization;
• Serving the data via high throughput APIs based on Google RPCs and distributed in memory caching systems for EOD risk pricing purposes;
• Streaming the data for pre-deal pricing purposes
