Job description

The Senior Risk Engineer role is within a global commodity trading company operating in the intersection of commodities risk management, market data systems, and modern software engineering delivery. The role requires hands-on engineering expertise to design, build, and maintain full-stack risk engineering systems that support commodities trading operations and market data processing at scale. The engineer is responsible for translating high-level, often ambiguous business requirements from trading and risk stakeholders into robust, production-ready technical solutions. This includes building systems that handle price risk, mark-to-market valuation, commodities curve modeling, and real-time market data flows. The role operates in a high-velocity engineering environment with multiple daily releases in a CI/CD pipeline, requiring disciplined practices in testing, observability, rollback strategies, and continuous delivery. The Senior Risk Engineer contributes to cloud-native platforms using modern infrastructure practices such as containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and managed cloud services across AWS, GCP, or Azure. The position involves close collaboration with quants, traders, and risk managers to ensure that engineering systems accurately reflect real-world market behavior and risk exposures. The role also includes participation in architectural design decisions, code reviews, and system design improvements, with a strong focus on delivery speed, scalability, and system reliability. The engineer is expected to proactively identify and resolve technical debt while maintaining high-quality engineering standards. Additionally, the role incorporates AI-assisted software development workflows, leveraging tools such as Copilot or Cursor for code generation, test creation, and iterative refinement within fast-release cycles. The position requires strong ownership mindset, ability to operate independently, and capability to deliver complex systems end-to-end without supervision in a fast-paced commodity trading environment.
