This Vice President role focuses on developing Vasara, the bank's next-generation risk platform for capital markets. The position combines technical leadership with hands-on development, working on critical risk computation challenges from real-time trading desk risk to market risk and capital calculations.

The role sits within the Quantitative Strategies Team, working on a joint venture between Technology and Quants. You'll be developing risk management and pricing solutions for trading partners, with an emphasis on creating asset-agnostic solutions that maximize consistency and reusability. The position requires deep technical expertise in front-end technologies, particularly React and modern JavaScript frameworks, combined with experience in financial services and risk management systems.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior developer who wants to impact a major financial institution's risk management capabilities.

The role offers competitive compensation ($144,400 - $300,000) and comprehensive benefits, including health coverage, 401(k), and various insurance options.

The ideal candidate will bring a mix of technical expertise and financial domain knowledge, with the ability to collaborate effectively with traders, project managers, and engineers.
