About the Team
You’ll be joining the Data Services team within Risk ERA Systems, responsible for the end‑to‑end data integration pipeline — from front‑office systems through to the risk data warehouse. This data directly feeds risk calculations, reporting, and decision‑making, making your role central to the organisation.
Role
As part of a dynamic Agile (SAFe) team, you’ll help build and enhance a data integration platform that underpins market and counterparty risk calculations. You’ll work closely with risk analysts and product owners, translating business requirements into scalable, high‑performance Python solutions — so strong business analysis capability is essential alongside your technical skills.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing, developing, and maintaining Python‑based data processing applications.
- Building data pipelines to ingest, transform, and validate large data sets.
- Collaborating with business stakeholders to analyse requirements and define technical solutions.
- Rapid prototyping to test new concepts and improve delivery speed.
- Optimising performance and ensuring reliability of data integration processes.
- Working with SQL and data warehouse technologies.
- Identifying issues, debugging, and improving system quality.
- Supporting continuous improvement within an Agile team.
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years of Python development experience.
- Proven ability to work in a business‑facing or business analyst capacity (gathering requirements, translating into solutions).
- Object‑oriented programming and strong data‑structure knowledge.
- Experience with SQL and relational databases.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
- Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Desirable
- Exposure to financial services, risk, or data platforms.
- Understanding of data pipelines / ETL processes.
- Experience with Agile / Scrum environments.
- Knowledge of market or counterparty risk.
