Your role

Are you effective influencer who can sell their ideas to others? Are you passionate about investigating new technologies and making recommendations to the team? We're looking for technical thought leader to:

• lead a change of approach to software development, embracing the principles of CI/CD and DevOps together with micro services architectures and running containers in the cloud
• help in re-engineering applications with some demanding greenfield development as we go back to requirements capturing (the team is on a journey to move specific applications into Azure over the next two years)
• lead various activities together with support from the senior team leader in Krakow and our managers and analysts in London.
• work on diagrams of how such transitions can be achieved, and be able to discuss these within the team and other management

Your team

You’ll be working in a fast growing team in Krakow, where almost all of our development happens. We are responsible for project work and maintenance of a number of different applications for our ‘Credit Risk’ business. We work within the ‘Global Financing Solutions’ business area, which is part of the Investment Bank. Our risk systems are responsible for managing over $1 trillion of exposure.
There are three streams in our team: one looking at the project initiatives against the real-time applications; these systems need to react to live trade feeds. Another stream looks at projects relating to the overnight risk calculations which stress the open positions against extreme market conditions and determines the worse-case scenarios. Finally, the third stream looks at the maintenance of the existing suite of applications, responding to projects such as server migrations and decommissioning tasks.

• skills to persuade others to shift behaviors, processes and tools

• experience with micro services architecture and running containers is nice to have
