Software Engineer

The SecDb team is responsible for the engineering and management of a business-critical pricing and risk calculation platform used by revenue-generating and federation divisions. The team is expanding its focus to modernize the infrastructure through the adoption of Container strategies and containerization. This initiative aims to accelerate deployment, enforce runtime immutability, support microservices architecture, and provide scalable, resilient environments for applications. As a Developer on the team, you will partner with global developers and strategy/business-aligned technology teams. You will create solutions, develop new features, or improve existing services to meet evolving business requirements. Additionally, you will participate in the migration to modern, scalable microservices architecture leveraging Container concepts and container ecosystems. You will design systems using containerization best practices and contribute to container orchestration strategies, primarily utilizing Kubernetes. Ensuring seamless integration of containerization principles with legacy and new systems will be an essential part of your role. Collaborating on defining conventions, runtime orchestration, and integration strategies will be crucial for improving developer productivity, enhancing security protocols, and reducing the total cost of ownership. In this role, you will work at the core of a strategically important system at GS, impacting revenue and federation divisions. You will engage with global teams across various time zones and directly interact with business and additional technical teams. Your responsibilities will include innovating and implementing container-based solutions with Kubernetes to enhance deployment resiliency, speed, and operational efficiencies. You will gain insights into financial derivatives pricing and trade modeling while leveraging modern containerization techniques. Moreover, you will influence the strategic direction of the platform by integrating TSM initiatives that accelerate containerization benefits, resulting in more efficient and controlled production deployments. The ideal candidate should hold a Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field. A strong understanding of algorithms and data structures is required. Proficiency in a strongly typed compiled language (e.g., Java, C++) with at least 3 years of experience is necessary. Demonstrated experience working with large software systems, distributed computing, and both SQL and NoSQL databases is preferred. The candidate should be a proven team-player with excellent collaborative skills. Additional skills and technologies that are preferred include experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration frameworks (e.g., Kubernetes). Exposure to continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines with containerized environments is a plus. Familiarity with container development strategies focusing on immutable container deployments, runtime isolation, and the segregation of application components is beneficial. An understanding of how modern containerization minimizes operational overhead and enforces security and regulatory compliance is desired. Motivation to learn about trading workflows and financial market dynamics is appreciated. Overall, relevant industry experience of over 2 years in container and Kubernetes is advantageous. Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize under pressure are vital for this role. This enhanced role is ideal for motivated technologists who value modern, scalable infrastructure and are eager to be at the forefront of integrating containerization into advanced financial systems.,
