Job Overview/Purpose
The London Risk IT team creates and enhances software. We have five major applications: Analysis, Limit Management, Exposure Management, Collateral Management and Data Integrity. There is also an overnight batch system that loads deals, calculates exposure and produces reports. Exposure is calculated by a QuIC Monte Carlo risk engine.
The three systems we support are written in C#.Net with WPF/WCF and ASP.Net. All this is connected to a SQL Server database.
As well as the system improvements, there are several new projects for 2012. These include loading new products into the system and improving the way we calculate exposure. We are also responding to regulatory changes such as DFA and CVA.
This position is to bring a new developer to the team to help deliver and enhance the system.
Job Requirements

The key activities are problem analysis, development and testing of change control items and projects, and the initial technical analysis for bug fixes and enhancement requests within the Risk suite of systems.

Strong C#.NET, SQL, and ASP.Net skills are needed, ideally with exposure to Entity Framework.
Good experience of extract, transform, and load (ETL) in particular SSIS but also via web services and desirable to have experience of batch job processing.
A general knowledge of the Banking and the especially Risk would be desirable as the developer would need to carry out a variety of business changes of different parts of the system.
This role would occasionally provide third line support as part of the baseline team London Risk IT Team.
The developer may be added to the overnight support rota when they are experienced enough (one week in eight at the moment).
