RiskSystem: We provide comprehensive and innovative financial risk management and data services to the global funds industry via a proprietary cloud based platform. The company was formed in 2013, currently has 7 employees, 5 full time, 2 part time and works with ~ 40 funds across Europe and North America. The company’s prime focus is on providing its clients with precise (accurate enough) risk information in a timely fashion.
Requirement: Due to ongoing expansion of our business we are looking to recruit both risk analysts and data analysts to both support and extend the existing functionality. Analytical skills are a necessity as we believe risk management is more of a science than an art, although admitting that art appreciation is valuable too. Programming experience is also a necessity. The server side functionality is written in Python and experience in Cassandra / DB2 / MongoDB on the data side would also be useful. Client side functionality is in JavaScript / jQuery and experience in these would also be a plus. No specific knowledge of finance is necessarily required but given the nature of the business an interest in the topic is most likely essential (certainly experience and expertise in finance is an advantage). However training in the required elements of finance and financial risk management will be given in-house.
