A leading global multi-strategy hedge fund is looking to hire a senior Risk Technology Lead into its London office.
This is a high-impact front-office engineering role focused on the evolution of a business-critical cross-asset risk platform supporting trading, portfolio construction, and real-time risk decision‑making.
The role sits directly between Risk, Trading, Quant, and Engineering, with significant ownership over platform architecture, engineering direction, and delivery.
Preferred candidates
- Senior hands‑on risk engineers / architects
- Technical leads
- Experienced engineering managers who still enjoy being close to systems and design
Key areas include
- Real‑time risk analytics
- Risk platform architecture
- Distributed risk infrastructure
- Cross‑asset risk tooling
You will
- Partner directly with PMs, traders, quants, and risk managers
- Drive architectural decisions across the risk stack
- Help shape the long‑term evolution of the platform
- Remain technically involved in key engineering decisions and critical components
- Work within a lean, highly collaborative engineering culture with minimal bureaucracy
Ideal backgrounds
Strong fit for candidates with experience across:
- Market risk, counterparty risk, VaR/stress testing, pricing/risk engines, real‑time analytics, or front‑office risk systems.
Strong Java engineering capability is important. Leadership experience is beneficial but not essential for highly senior IC candidates.
My client anticipates offering a highly competitive total compensation package, with total compensation potentially reaching c.£600k, alongside excellent benefits and the opportunity to play a key role within a top‑tier hedge fund environment.
