Join to apply for the Fixed Income Federal Risk Applications - Java/Scala Software Engineer role at Morgan Stanley

We are seeking a software engineer to join our team in the Fixed Income Federal Risk Applications department. Our team develops and maintains highly scalable systems that utilise modern and innovative technologies to advance our front-office pricing and risk analytics capabilities for global Fixed Income trading desks. Our stakeholders include various fixed income trading desks and risk managers.

Successful candidates will be highly technical developers who can deliver innovative solutions within our existing award-winning risk calculation framework. Our main technical challenge is to scale up our infrastructure so that it can process large and complex calculations, as well as handle vast amounts of data. We massively parallelise calculations across tens of thousands of CPUs and hundreds of terabytes of memory spanning multiple physical hosts, while keeping overheads to a minimum. Another part of the role is to participate in our DevOps team, which helps to simplify and improve the reliability of our systems, and to build monitoring tools for our calculation streams. The role requires someone who is self-motivated, quick to learn, and takes ownership of their solutions, working throughout the full project lifecycle from problem analysis to successful delivery to production.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and fast-learning software developer, ideally with experience in Java or Scala. A strong candidate will be able to demonstrate the ability to analyse complex software and business domain issues and then clearly communicate both problems and solutions to technical and business audiences, as well as implement them.

What You’ll Do In The Role

Develop innovative solutions with our powerful graph calculation framework in Scala
Utilise your strong technical skills in one of the largest Scala projects in the world
Work on highly visible, technically challenging projects involving teams from multiple departments
Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning within the team
Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders to ensure project success
Execution of software development projects, ensuring quality and timely delivery
Have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with our business users and to learn business concepts such as how certain financial products and financial markets work
Participate in all stages of the lifecycle of an IT system, including gathering requirements and refining user stories, designing solutions, and writing code, as well as helping our support organisation answer the most interesting user questions
Work within a diverse technology landscape involving various programming languages (Java, Scala, Python), data management systems, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins)

What You’ll Bring To The Role

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
3+ years of software development experience
Interest in functional programming and the Scala language
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to align technology initiatives with business objectives
Ability to foster a collaborative team culture
Strong communication skills in general
Prior experience in developing data or computation-intensive (e.g. grid-based) backend applications is an advantage
Ability to work effectively on a large codebase with contributions from hundreds of developers, collaborating with both low-level infrastructure teams and high-level, business-focused teams
Strong Java or Scala skills, with the willingness to learn the other language if not already mastered at a sufficient level, are important
Prior knowledge of financial products is an advantage
Knowledge of Scala is an advantage but not a requirement

We Offer

A supportive and vibrant multinational environment that leverages technology to its highest potential. We embrace individual differences and believe in teamwork
An open door to have continuous dialogue with our senior leaders – an environment where you are truly listened to
Professional development opportunities, including access to Morgan Stanley’s world-class internal training
