My client, a prestigious global hedge fund, is seeking an experienced Risk Developer to join its New York office.

This is a unique opportunity to work within a dynamic, high-impact Risk Management team, building critical tools and infrastructure that directly support the firm’s investment decisions and portfolio oversight.

In this role, you will play a key part in developing scalable, full-stack risk technology solutions. These will power risk analytics, reporting, and performance attribution tools used across multiple asset classes. You will work closely with both technologists and risk managers, ensuring high performance, clean design, and clear communication of complex data workflows.

You’ll be joining a firm that values smart risk-taking, collaborative problem-solving, and ownership-driven innovation—providing you with the autonomy to shape impactful solutions while working at the cutting edge of risk technology.

The ideal candidate will be an expert-level Python developer (or have demonstrated mastery in C#, C++, or Java with readiness to pivot to Python), with strong computer science fundamentals and a proven track record of building analytical or front office tools in financial services.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain risk infrastructure, applications, and reports used by the Risk Management team.
• Build full-stack solutions leveraging modern data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps tooling.
• Optimize data handling and system performance through expert-level programming and efficient architectural design.
• Collaborate with the broader tech and risk teams to ensure systems meet business needs and are scalable across the platform.
• Communicate technical solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of overall software development experience, including 4+ years building Risk and/or Front Office analytics tools.
• Expert in Python or highly proficient in C#, C++, or Java with the ability to pivot to Python quickly.
• Strong grasp of computer science fundamentals including memory management, concurrency, and data structures.
• Solid experience with SQL-based and/or cloud-native databases such as PostgreSQL and Snowflake.
• Familiarity with portfolio construction concepts, risk metrics (e.g., VaR), and performance attribution methodologies.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex ideas to varied audiences.

My client anticipates to pay a strong performer upwards of $350k year 1 total compensation package. As well as a market-leading compensation package, they offer exceptional benefits including a top-tier healthcare package, fully subsidised qualifications plus breakfast and lunch paid for each day.
