The Commodities trading business at Citi has grown significantly in the last 10 years to become one of the leading industry players. It is a federated business model that covers market-making across all types of assets including Oil, Gas, Power, Agriculture, Emissions, Metals, Freight, Exotics and Indices. This role is within the London Commodities Risk Technology team, focussing on our front-office trading platform. This proprietary trading platform is currently going through an exciting re-engineering phase and we are seeking to build out the development team. This front-office risk system calculates large volumes of results data, so there are considerable challenges in data modelling, distributed processing & grid computing. Hence, we require a seasoned developer who can efficiently design and develop micro-services and components which can handle and process large amount of data with optimal performance. The application the candidate will be developing is a highly-distributed Python-based micro-services platform that uses RabbitMQ for transport and Openshift/Kubernetes for deployment. We are committed to hiring the brightest and best technical experts and in return can offer roles with direct business interaction and day–to-day usage of the latest technology.
