Validus Risk Management is an independent market risk advisory firm specialising in the management of currency, interest rate and commodity price risk. We help our clients navigate and manage financial risk with a hands-on advisory approach and award-winning technology solutions. Our systematic financial risk management methodology has been designed to increase risk transparency, create customised risk management solutions, and facilitate the efficient execution of hedging transactions by minimising information asymmetry between clients and banking counterparties. The Validus Risk Management advisory service gives our clients access to the latest risk management technology and independent expertise at a fraction of the cost of an in-house financial risk management function. Validus works with a range of companies across the globe, from SMEs to multinational corporations, as well as pension funds and leading alternative investments funds (Private Equity, Secondaries, Private Debt, Real Estate). We act as an extension to more than 100 clients globally and execute more than 3,000 trades every month (>$330bn in hedging volume annually).

📋 Description

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of high-impact features and enhancements for Validus Horizon, from technical design through deployment and post-release feedback. • Own multiple concurrent CST initiatives, ensuring timely execution with clear stakeholder communication and transparency. • Design and implement full stack solutions (backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and frontend components) aligned with Horizon architecture and best practices. • Build and maintain robust ETL processes (data ingestion, validation, transformation, reporting, SFTP/API integrations) to enhance data availability, and client workflows. • Collaborate closely with business stakeholders to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and quantify business value. • Contribute to technical scoping and effort estimation as part of the CST ranking and prioritisation process. • Improve system performance, reliability, and scalability across Horizon components (e.g., RiskView, TradeView, PortfolioView). • Act as a technical mentor within the CST, promoting high standards in code quality, documentation, testing, and delivery. • Support stakeholder and client meetings by presenting technical solutions, trade-offs, and implementation roadmaps.

🎯 Requirements

• 3–5 years of professional software development experience. • Strong academic background in a quantitative discipline (Mathematics, Physics, Financial Engineering, Computer Science, etc.). • Strong experience in Python or a similar backend language used for data processing and financial applications. • Full stack development experience (backend services, APIs, databases, and modern frontend frameworks). • Experience designing and maintaining data pipelines and integrations (APIs, SFTP, structured market/portfolio datasets). • Proven ability to lead small-to-medium scale projects with high accountability and ownership. • Strong interest in financial markets, with exposure to FX and interest rate products. • Ability to communicate complex technical and financial concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Strong attention to detail, prioritisation skills, and ability to manage multiple parallel initiatives.
