Capital Markets IT is the IT department within the bank focused on solutions related to Capital Markets. This includes Front Office (FO) booking platforms, Risk Management (RM) control and regulatory reporting systems, financial product and contract valuation systems, and much more. It is the department most directly exposed to the bank’s financial operations.
MASAI is an ambitious project critical to the Bank’s strategic pivot towards data-centric operations. In the past, separate systems maintained their data separately, modeling the same data in incompatible ways and depending on ad-hoc and sometimes brittle data sharing mechanisms, creating a complex web of interdependent systems and no centralized repository of data.
MASAI was initially created to satisfy regulatory requirements set out by the Basel Committee as part of their FRTB capital rules, but quickly became the central focus in the Bank’s push towards a more data-centric approach. It is based on Big Data technology, which allows horizontally scalable management of data at and beyond the petabyte scale.
As a member of the MASAI project’s development team, you will develop robust processes to ingest huge amounts of data from disparate systems and build processes that transform and use that data.
The core technology used is Apache Spark on top of HDFS, and development is primarily in Java. The position is ideal for someone with a strong interest in data processing and data science: if you wish to level-up your experience in Big Data technologies and the complex technical ecosystem that surrounds them, this position will put your career firmly on the right track.
This role is autonomous, able to understand well-structured code and extend it, and is keen to explore how systems work and is not shy about asking questions to learn more. You will be expected to faithfully and reliably execute tasks assigned to you, respect deadlines, and proactively communicate setbacks and difficulties encountered to the team lead or senior developers.
