We are motivated by challenging each other to push the boundaries of financial and technological innovation, in an open, inclusive, and diverse environment. We are looking for the brightest and best developers to take our capability forward.

Who we are:

This position is a senior development team role of a new Equities Risk development pod in within the wider Equity Derivatives IT team in HSBC’s Global Banking and Markets Division. The Equity Derivatives technology group spans the globe and services all client areas within the bank for Equities-related services. Curiosity and a growth mind-set driven by continuous learning are key values within our team.

What we do:

Operating across Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong, Poland, Guangzhou, and Toronto, the Risk and PnL stream in Equity and Securities Financing Technology is responsible for:

• Compute grids. Large-scale computation across 1000s of cores for intraday, EOD, and regulatory risk and pnl production

• Risk Reporting databases and view servers

• Distributed data services for position, product, market data and reference data information to provide the correct inputs for the risk systems. Bi-temporal database storage and query

About the Role

We’re looking for talented developers with a passion for designing, building, deploying and supporting large-scale systems in a rapidly-moving environment.

Equity Derivatives Technology is undergoing a large transformation project to entirely refresh our platforms for large-scale compute, global data services, pricing and risk and pnl production. We need experienced developers to help build out these services as we grow the new platform to fulfil our regulatory commitments, and to power business growth, especially in the structured products space.

The candidate will work on primarily new services, using modern Java on the server side, across our internal cloud and external clouds. Although the role is development-focussed, teams are expected to fully support their own applications, including deployment, release management, and user support, all the way to production. As such this role includes providing a follow the sun support model globally of the new Risk services stack in conjunction with the other regional teams in Equities technology.

This role is focused on building out an event-based infrastructure to rework many of our core flows, moving us towards a real-time-by-default environment. You will build, on top of popular open-source data processing frameworks (including but not limited to Apache Kafka), use-cases such as

• Stage and aggregate billions of regulatory risk result objects each day to send to our Front-to-Back data stores

• Implement processing, storage, and service functions for different classes of risk data, pricing inputs, reference data, to provide a universal real-time intraday capability for application clients

• Promote, where appropriate, the benefits of event-sourcing architectures and an event-first approach to design

For this role, HSBC targets a pay range between $143,100.00 and $214,600.00.

The final fixed pay offer will depend on the candidate and a number of variables, including but not limited to, role responsibilities, skill set, depth of experience and education, licensing/certification requirements, internal relativity, and specific work location.

At HSBC, our overall goal is to provide a competitive Total Reward Package, with an appropriate mix of fixed pay, and variable pay, as part of an employee’s overall total compensation and benefits. Variable pay generally takes the form of discretionary, annual awards (sometimes referred to as a “bonus”). Additionally, HSBC offers a wide range of competitive and flexible benefits designed to help you improve your health and well-being, finances, and lifestyle.
