Our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs for more than 90 years.
The Risk Engineering team designs, builds, and operates software products that support risk management and risk control capabilities across the ACC organization.
Product Risk Engineers are full-stack software engineers who own the full software development lifecycle—from design and implementation through deployment and production support—and build and maintain production applications using modern front-end, back-end, data, and event-driven technologies.
They are accountable for the reliability, usability, adoption, and effectiveness of the products they deliver.
Success is measured through outcomes such as product adoption, system reliability, improved control execution, reduced manual effort, and meaningful support for risk reduction.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate software products that support risk management, risk controls, control workflows, and TORC operational needs.
- Own risk engineering product capabilities end-to-end, including architecture, implementation, deployment, integration, and ongoing operational support in production.
- Write, test, and maintain high-quality production code across React front ends, Spring Boot services, SQL data layers, and supporting microservices.
- Apply engineering best practices such as test-driven development, paired programming, code review, automated testing, and continuous integration and deployment.
- Contribute to high-level and low-level system and component designs with a focus on scalability, reliability, maintainability, security, and effective risk control outcomes.
- Continuously evaluate and adopt technologies, frameworks, and patterns that improve usability, performance, resilience, and automation of risk and control products.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, platform teams, control owners, and partner engineering groups to align product capabilities with ACC and enterprise risk needs.
- Participate in agile delivery ceremonies and contribute to a culture of fast feedback, incremental delivery, continuous improvement, and strong production ownership.
Essential Skills

- 3+ years of software engineering experience, with ownership of production systems across the full software development lifecycle and hands-on proficiency in React, Java, and Spring Boot.
- Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating scalable distributed systems, cloud-based applications, and microservices architectures.
- Ability to design, develop, and integrate APIs, backend services, REST-based interfaces, SQL data stores, and event-driven components using technologies such as Kafka.
- Strong working knowledge of modern development workflows and engineering practices such as test-driven development, paired programming, automated testing, code review, and CI/CD.
- Experience collaborating effectively within agile delivery models, working with product managers, engineers, control owners, and partner teams to deliver risk-focused product outcomes.
Desirable Skills
- Working knowledge of risk management, control management, compliance workflows, or technology risk concepts, translating business needs into effective product capabilities.
- Experience implementing or integrating authentication, authorization, RBAC, and identity-based access patterns within applications and services.
- Knowledge of secure software development practices, resilient service design, data protection, and testing patterns for business-critical applications.
- Exposure to containerized and cloud-native environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and public cloud platforms such as AWS and/or Azure.
- Exposure to large language models (LLMs), machine learning concepts, or AI-driven capabilities to improve productivity, automation, or risk insight generation.
- Ability to leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve developer productivity, code quality, testing, and documentation.
- Commitment to building solutions balancing engineering quality, robust risk control, operational resilience, and user experience.
