This is a senior, hands-on technical leadership role - responsible for driving the engineering architecture, technical direction, and delivery of derivatives capabilities across the platform. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and derivatives domain expertise, covering trade lifecycle management, valuation/pricing, and downstream processing across FX, Interest Rate, Credit, Equity, and Commodity derivatives. You will architect and build systems that are correct, auditable, and performant at scale, working closely with quants, traders, operations, and risk teams.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and build scalable, resilient systems for derivatives trade capture, lifecycle event processing (resets, fixings, exercises, novations, terminations, amendments), and downstream settlement/confirmation workflows.\nOwn architecture decisions for pricing and valuation services, including integration with pricing libraries/models and market data feeds for FX, IR, Credit, Equity, and Commodity derivatives.\nBuild and maintain data models and event-driven pipelines that support accurate position keeping, P&L, and risk reporting across the trade lifecycle.\nPartner with quant and risk teams to translate valuation and pricing logic into robust, testable, production-grade code.\nDrive engineering best practices: system design reviews, code quality, test automation, observability, and performance tuning for high-throughput, low-latency workflows.\nCollaborate with operations and business stakeholders to understand STP requirements, exception handling, and reconciliation needs across the trade lifecycle.\nMentor engineers, contribute to technical roadmap decisions, and raise the bar on engineering rigor across the team.\nContribute to hedge accounting workflows where applicable, including effectiveness testing support.\nQualifications\nTechnical\n12+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of designing and building complex, distributed, data-intensive systems.\nDeep proficiency in at least one modern backend language (Java, Python, or similar) and strong system design fundamentals (scalability, data modeling, API design, event-driven architecture).\nExperience with relational and/or time-series databases, messaging systems (Kafka or similar), and building services that operate under strict accuracy and auditability requirements.\nComfort working across the full stack of a trading platform: trade capture, lifecycle processing, valuation integration, and reporting/reconciliation.\nDomain\nSolid understanding of derivatives lifecycle management across FX, Interest Rate, Credit, Equity, and Commodity products - including trade events such as fixings, resets, exercises, novations, and terminations.\nWorking knowledge of valuation and pricing concepts for these asset classes (e.g., discounting curves, forward/NPV calculations, sensitivities) - you don't need to build pricing models yourself, but you must understand how they plug into the systems you build.\nFamiliarity with middle/back office processes: confirmations, settlements, reconciliation, and regulatory/reporting considerations for derivatives.\nNice to Have\nUnderstanding of hedge accounting concepts (e.g., fair value/cash flow hedges) and hedge effectiveness testing methodologies.\nExperience with regulatory reporting frameworks for derivatives (e.g., Dodd-Frank, EMIR, MiFID II).\nExposure to cloud infrastructure and modern DevOps practices in a regulated financial environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3612,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Asset Management & Funds","Financial Data & Market Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T22:14:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:5","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cwan-software-development-manager-derivatives","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cwan-software-development-manager-derivatives.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T12:33:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19316,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1969767},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1969767"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcwan-software-development-manager-derivatives"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcwan-software-development-manager-derivatives"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcwan-software-development-manager-derivatives"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cwan-software-development-manager-derivatives\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcwan-software-development-manager-derivatives"}]}
