The Core Development team is a small group of experienced Java developers responsible for developing the internal infrastructure underlying the Risk Cache. Its purview includes all significant algorithms and data structures, concurrency issues, and performance. The team also has a leadership role in defining best practices in development and modern testing habits as well as mentoring across the broader community of Risk Cache application developers. Challenge: This area has to manage a huge amount of data. 100-200 GB and growing. Because of the size we need to distribute the data.This is all brand new development. Finance knowledge is not necessary. This is an area for tech enthusiasts.  Unix/Linux but not essential to know Unix internals. Therefore need a keen understanding of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Very strong Java, how Memory and Garbage collecter works This is a core Java area.  Communication skills, analytical skills, should be able to face off with other developers. Not a lot of mgt structure here. Education: Bachelors and up. CS, Math. Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, strong Computer Science fundementals.Range of Exp: will go from Junior to Senior, but this is a hands on position so don't expect any leadership role in the immediate term. Group Description:The Risk Cache is a central tool that our client uses to evaluate the risk it bears as a result of its’ derivatives trading businesses. It has revolutionized how information is prepared for the Credit and Market Risk officers of the Firm. It also enables the Firm to have more dynamic access to more precisely crafted information, in a way that makes new innovations straightforward and what-if analysis a natural extension.The Risk Cache is an in-memory, distributed cache written entirely in Java, running in JVM’s with 100GB of heap. It is highly tuned for performance. The code base comprises over a million and a half lines of code, and supported by over 13,000 tests.
