Job description

We're seeking someone to join our team as a Developer in Federal ISG Risk Technology to develop systems serving as a data integration and feeding platform, ensuring that calculation results and other data initiated in our division reaches our downstream clients and meeting all their requirements. The main challenges in this area are the volume of the data (feeding hundreds of gigabytes daily), interfacing with multiple other systems, being exposed to different financial products to a certain extent and being resilient to errors while keeping our SLA-s. The data we manage is critical in fulfilling the regulatory requirements set by the FED, PRA or BAFIN. Our team is also involved in developing calculations of regulatory scenarios requested by our Market Risk Department. The main technical challenge for this team is computational complexity and data quantity. In the Technology division, we leverage innovation to build the connections and capabilities that power our Firm, enabling our clients and colleagues to redefine markets and shape the future of our communities. This is a Software Engineering position at Associate level, which is part of the job family responsible developing and maintaining software solutions that support business needs. Since 1935, Morgan Stanley is known as a global leader in financial services, always evolving and innovating to better serve our clients and our communities in more than 40 countries around the world.

• We accept 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.

• Develop IT systems covering various aspects of the business run by our Institutional Securities (Fixed Income and Equities) division.
• Have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with our business users and learn business concepts about financial products and markets.
• Participate in every stage of the lifecycle of an IT system ranging from gathering the requirement and refining user stories, designing solutions, and writing code to help our support organization to answer the most interesting and challenging user questions.
• Work on a diverse technology landscape involving various programming languages (Java, Scala, Python), data management systems, CI/CD pipeline (Jenkins)
• Our team has a wide coverage on technical and business problems to solve ranging from developing data integration and feeding solutions having extreme throughput and resiliency requirements to calculating regulatory scenarios requested by our Market Risk Department. The choice will primarily depend on skillset, personal interest and team fit

What you'll bring to the role:

• Min. 2 years of development experience in Java or Scala.
• Willingness to pick up the other language if not already mastered at a sufficient level is important.
• OOP design skills with an understanding or at least personal interest towards the concepts of Functional Programming
• Desire to work with various stakeholders in order to understand business requirements and deliver best value for them.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• A good command of English and in general good communication skills
• Knowledge of data engineering, architecture and data modeling is a plus.
• Willingness to understand and enhance other people's code, being able to work in an environment where developers will oversee and work on wider components also dealing with older legacy code.
• Spring knowledge is an advantage, but in general willingness to learn, work with and even enhance in-house developed frameworks is a must.
• Prior experience in working with Git, Bitbucket, Jenkins, working with PR-s, using JIRA, following the Scrum Agile methodology is an advantage.
