Senior Risk Engineer

Our client, a global commodity trading company committed to innovation, is seeking a Senior Risk Engineer to join their engineering team. This role operates at the intersection of commodities risk, market data, and modern software delivery.

- Design, build, and maintain risk engineering systems across the full stack, with a focus on commodities risk and market data pipelines; - Take high-level, loosely defined requirements from trading and risk stakeholders and independently infer the detail needed to deliver correct, production-ready solutions; - Contribute to multiple daily releases in a CI/CD environment — writing code that is testable, observable, and safe to ship continuously; - Work within and help evolve cloud-native, engineering-led platforms, applying modern infrastructure and deployment practices; - Collaborate closely with quants, traders, and risk managers to ensure systems accurately reflect market and risk realities; - Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and architectural decisions with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset; - Identify and address technical debt without being asked.

### Must have - Solid understanding of commodities markets — price risk, mark-to-market, curves, and market data flows; - Experience building or maintaining systems that consume and process market data at scale; - Proficient Python practitioner — you write clean, idiomatic, well-tested code as a matter of habit; - Working knowledge of full-stack development: comfortable across backend services, APIs, and front-end interfaces as needed; - Experienced with cloud-based platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and the engineering practices that go with them — containerization, infrastructure-as-code, managed services; - Fluent in agentic development workflows — you use AI-assisted tooling (e.g. Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) as a natural part of your SDLC, not as a novelty; comfortable with AI-generated code review, test generation, and iterative refinement within a fast-release pipeline; - Comfortable operating in a high-velocity delivery environment with multiple releases per day; - Disciplined about testing, observability, and rollback — you ship fast without being reckless; - Able to take ambiguous, high-level requirements and drive them to completion without hand-holding. ### Nice to have - You are direct, low-ego, and focused on outcomes - You push back when something doesn't make sense, and you do it constructively - You take ownership — if something is broken or unclear, you fix it or clarify it rather than waiting for someone else to - You are easy to work with under pressure - You have strong opinions, loosely held
