We are looking for people who combine strong software engineering with real understanding of financial-markets environments, where data quality, performance, resilience and business-domain context are critical.\nDepending on the project, you may work on trading and execution platforms, pricing, market data, position and exposure services, risk engines, post-trade processing or regulatory technology.\nWhat You’ll Work On\nbackend services supporting trading, risk or capital-markets workflows\n\nreal-time and event-driven systems\n\nmarket data, positions, exposures or pricing-related services\n\nhigh-throughput data processing and integration pipelines\n\nAPIs and integrations across front-, middle- and back-office systems\n\nsystems where correctness, resilience and auditability are essential\n\ntechnical design and architecture decisions with senior engineers and domain stakeholders\n\nproduction support and continuous improvement of business-critical platforms\n\nTechnology\nWe are particularly interested in engineers working with Java, Kotlin, Python or C++, depending on the project. Typical environments also include Kafka, SQL, distributed systems, cloud platforms, Kubernetes and modern observability tooling.\nMust Have\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience\n\nstrong backend engineering skills in Java, Kotlin, Python and/or C++\n\nexperience with distributed, event-driven or high-volume systems\n\nsolid understanding of production reliability and failure handling\n\ngood SQL and data-handling skills\n\ngood English\n\nability to work with both technical and business stakeholders\n\ncommercial experience in investment banking, capital markets, asset management, hedge funds or financial risk technology\n\nStrong Advantage\nequities, fixed income, FX, credit or derivatives\n\nmarket data or pricing systems\n\ntrade lifecycle and post-trade processing\n\nmarket, counterparty or credit risk\n\npositions, P&L, exposure or limit systems\n\nlow-latency or high-throughput architectures\n\nKafka and event-driven architectures\n\nKubernetes and AWS / Azure / GCP\n\nregulatory reporting or other regulated capital-markets systems\n\nWorking Model\nB2B cooperation\n\nremote or hybrid work depending on the project\n\nprojects with banks, investment firms, asset managers and other financial institutions\n\ninternational teams and senior stakeholders\n\nEnglish used on most projects\n\nB2B Rate\n180–240 PLN/h + VAT\nFinal rate depends on technology, seniority, financial-markets expertise and project scope.\nWhy West Code\nWest Code builds engineering teams around ownership and strong technical delivery, not just individual roles. We are developing a dedicated business unit focused on technology projects for banks, investment firms and other financial-services organisations.\nThese are projects where understanding the business domain can matter as much as knowing the technology. You’ll work in senior environments on systems tied directly to trading, risk and financial decision-making, with strong technical ownership rather than purely ticket-driven delivery.\nIf you have serious engineering experience in financial markets or risk technology, apply and let’s talk.\nTech stack\nJava\nKotlin\nPython\nC++\nSQL\nKafka\nKubernetes","description_format":"text","description_chars":3449,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Design & Creative","Web Design","Digital Design"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T14:27:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["seen:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/westcode-financial-markets-risk-technology-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/westcode-financial-markets-risk-technology-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T14:46:43Z","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":23315,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3148752},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3148752"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwestcode-financial-markets-risk-technology-engineer"},{"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%2Fwestcode-financial-markets-risk-technology-engineer"},{"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%2Fwestcode-financial-markets-risk-technology-engineer"},{"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/westcode-financial-markets-risk-technology-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwestcode-financial-markets-risk-technology-engineer"}]}
