Job Description

What we do:

At Goldman Sachs, our Engineers don’t just make things – we make things possible. We strive to change the world by connecting people and capital with ideas and solve the most challenging and pressing engineering problems for our clients. Join our engineering teams that build massively scalable software and systems, architect low latency infrastructure solutions, proactively guard against cyber threats, and leverage machine learning alongside financial engineering to continuously turn data into action. Create new businesses, transform finance, and explore a world of opportunity at the speed of markets.

Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities trading is a key revenue generating division for Goldman Sachs, and Interest Rate Products form a large part of that business.

The Interest Rate Products (IRP) Trading & Sales desk assists Goldman Sachs’ clients in managing their exposure to interest rate risk by offering a range of financial instruments. This is a critical function for our clients and the firm, and the products offered range from simple government bonds and vanilla Interest Rate Swaps to more exotic structured interest rate derivatives.

Engineering is comprised of our Technology Division and Global Strategists groups. It is at the center of our business, and our dynamic environment requires innovative strategic thinking and immediate, real solutions. Want to push the limit of digital possibilities? Start here.

Who we look for:

Goldman Sachs Engineers are innovators and problem-solvers, building solutions in risk management, big data, mobile, and more. We look for creative collaborators who evolve, adapt to change, and thrive in a fast-paced global environment.

As an Interest Rate Product Engineer, you will play a key role in developing software solutions that will help institutional clients buy and sell interest rate-related financial instruments on liquidity venues around the world. Additionally, you will be challenged with designing and implementing innovative software solutions that enable IRP Trading and Sales to manage their risk, positions, and PNL efficiently. You will work closely with internal clients including trading, sales, strategists, and operations, being involved in every stage of the software development life-cycle. Given the global nature of the business, you will often collaborate with counterparts in other regional offices to learn about different local markets and financial products.
