Full Time

Are you an experienced Software Engineer? Do you enjoy working as part of an experienced, diverse and collaborative team? Are you excited by the idea of helping us build a new cloud native Risk Platform? Are you passionate about agile ways of working?
Advanced Quantitative Cloud Analytics (ACQA) is the strategic risk and analytics platform at UBS. Built entirely on Microsoft Azure and running production workloads for several asset classes, ACQA is an established pillar of our technology strategy with ambitious plans today and in the years ahead. At its heart ACQA is Python but we also use other languages including Java and Scala.
Your role:

• Design and implementation of ACQA Platform backend services

• Testing, instrumentation and alerting of our environment driving great production delivery

• Cloud infrastructure architecture, configuration and automated deployment

• Troubleshooting, diagnostics and debugging in complex environments

• Contributing to our long-term success by setting technical direction

• Leading, mentoring and supporting the development of those around you

The ACQA Platform team is responsible for developing and operating the application services upon which the ACQA user community depend. We work closely with quants and traders developing on the ACQA Platform, pushing change to production daily. Our portfolio includes compute, ingestion, data and monitoring services using cloud-native technologies and modern operating practices.
We are looking for deeply technical colleagues in a variety of roles to strengthen our team and help deliver on the bold vision of a single, cloud-native, multi-asset class risk engine for UBS. Naturally, the ACQA Platform team is making a vital contribution to the wider ACQA program and shaping the future of front office technology at UBS in the process.

Your skills will likely include:

• Relevant experience in a Software Engineering role, probably in financial services

• Programming complex production systems in Java, C#, and/or Python

• Testing and instrumentation practices, observability and alerting tooling

• Knowledge of Kubernetes, maybe in public cloud, ideally on Microsoft Azure

• Development and/or operations of big data technologies like Apache Spark, MongoDB, CosmosDB, Azure Databricks, Apache Kafka and so on

• Development and/or operations of CI/CD pipelines using modern cloud-friendly build systems like GitLab

• Production experience with Terraform on a major public cloud provider

• Experience with containerisation in development, build and runtime environments

• Understanding of information modelling, data structures and algorithms

• Technical architecture and low-level design

• Agile development and planning practices

• Ability to collaborate effectively in a large global team and influence key architectural decisions

You are:

• A passionate engineer. Dedicated to building software that end users love. You enjoy working in a fast-paced agile environment.

• A teacher. You enjoy helping those around you develop their skills, while you develop your own.

• Collaborative by nature. You enjoy working in a highly skilled team where the best ideas win, even if they are not yours. You are equally happy developing something new or building on the work of others.
