Job description

Business Integration Partners (BIP) is Europe’s fastest growing digital consulting company and are on track to reach the Top 20 by 2030, with an expanding global footprint in the US (New York, Charlotte, Chicago, and Houston). Operating at the intersection of business and technology, we design, develop, and deliver sustainable solutions at pace and scale, creating greater value for our customers, employees, shareholders, and society.

BIP specializes in high-impact consulting services across multiple industries with 6,000 employees worldwide. Our Financial Services business serves Capital Markets, Insurance and Payments verticals, supplemented with Data & AI, Cybersecurity, Risk & Compliance, Change Management and Digital Transformation practices. We integrate deep industry expertise with business, technology, and quantitative disciplines to deliver high-impact results for our clients.

BIP is currently expanding its footprint in the United States, focusing on growing its Capital Markets and Financial Services lines. Our teams operate at the intersection of business strategy, technology, and data to help our clients drive smarter decisions, reduce risks, and stay ahead in a fast-evolving market environment.

About the Role:

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Software Engineer to support a major Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) Internal Models Approach (IMA) program for a leading global financial institution. This is a software engineering role within Market Risk / Risk Technology, rather than a pure Quant Analyst or model-development position.

The role sits between Quantitative Strats, Market Risk, and Software Engineering. We are looking for a strong production engineer with Capital Markets, Market Risk, Risk Technology, or quantitative engineering experience. Direct FRTB IMA experience is highly valued, but candidates with strong Market Risk engineering backgrounds and the ability to learn the specific FRTB implementation are encouraged to apply.

The work spans enhancements to an existing enterprise Market Risk platform supporting Rates and Credit, as well as development on newer strategic infrastructure with a significant focus on Equity-related implementation. Candidates may specialize in Python OR Java – deep expertise in both is not required.

The successful candidate will work closely with Front Office, Market Risk, Quant, and Engineering teams, participate in solution design and analytical discussions, and translate complex or loosely defined requirements into robust, production-quality software.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, test, and deliver production-quality solutions supporting FRTB IMA regulatory and market risk requirements.
• Partner with Quant Strats, Market Risk, Front Office, and Engineering teams to translate analytical and regulatory requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Enhance existing Market Risk Suite (MRS) capabilities supporting Rates and Credit, including market data enrichment, risk calculations, and eligibility testing.
• Build new analytics and risk-processing capabilities on strategic infrastructure, with Equity population and implementation efforts as a major focus.
• Implement and support market risk analytics, including FRTB IMA risk factor eligibility testing (RFET), time-series analysis, and related validation processes where applicable.
• Analyze market risk and risk factor datasets, validate outputs, investigate discrepancies, and support quantitative testing and reconciliation.
• Participate in solution design, analytics reviews, testing strategy, and problem-solving sessions with technical and quantitative stakeholders.
• Reverse engineer and enhance complex enterprise and legacy systems where formal documentation or requirements may be limited.
• Develop integration components connecting legacy and strategic platforms, including data flows, workflow orchestration, and risk-process connectivity.
• Apply strong software engineering practices including automated testing, code reviews, documentation, version control, production validation, and support.
• Work effectively in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements and take ownership from initial analysis through production delivery.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 6+ years of hands-on software engineering, quantitative development, risk technology, or closely related experience within a complex enterprise environment.
• Strong hands-on development expertise in Python OR Java; deep expertise in both languages is not required.
• Experience building, enhancing, testing, and supporting production-grade enterprise applications, analytics platforms, or risk systems.
• Experience within Capital Markets, Market Risk, Risk Technology, quantitative engineering, or a closely related financial-services environment.
• Strong analytical skills with experience working with financial, market, or risk datasets, including validation, reconciliation, troubleshooting, and testing.
• Ability to work effectively with Quant, Market Risk, Front Office, and Engineering stakeholders and translate complex or loosely defined requirements into production-quality technical solutions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Direct hands-on experience delivering FRTB IMA technology or analytics solutions is highly preferred.
• Experience implementing or supporting Risk Factor Eligibility Testing (RFET), FRTB market-risk analytics, or related regulatory risk capabilities.
• Experience with enterprise Market Risk platforms, internal risk engines, regulatory capital technology, VaR, sensitivities, or other market-risk analytics.
• Knowledge of regulatory capital calculations, risk factor modelling, risk model validation, or related Market Risk methodologies.
• Experience processing and analyzing large-scale time-series, market data, or financial datasets.
• Experience with market data sourcing, enrichment, risk factor data management, or Bloomberg data integration.
• Knowledge of Rates, Credit, and/or Equity products and associated market-risk analytics.
• Experience integrating modern strategic platforms with complex legacy risk infrastructure.
• Exposure to both Python and Java environments is beneficial, although deep expertise in one primary stack is sufficient.

Compensation:

**The base salary range for this role is $160,000 - $210,000.**

• Choice of medical, dental, vision insurance.
• Voluntary benefits.
• Short- and long-term disability.
• HSA and FSAs.
• Matching 401k.
• Discretionary performance bonus.
• Employee referral bonus.
• Employee assistance program.
• 11 public holidays.
• 20 days PTO.
