We are working with a leading global investment bank that is continuing to invest heavily in the build out of a new generation Risk Management platform.

The work includes:

• Building high performance risk applications primarily in Python

• Developing functionality as new asset classes are onboarded to the platform

• Working with large position, reference and market data sets held within Snowflake

• Improving the performance of distributed risk calculations
