Role profile:

We are looking for a technical, hands-on specialist to handle aspects of the release management process, test governance, help enhance automated build & release, integration and testing infrastructure for the pricing and risk modelling libraries. The role spans the end-to-end software development cycle, including managing source code branches, preparing and delivering release candidate builds into testing, working with QA teams for integration and regression testing, IT and desk-aligned strategies teams through the test cycle; and helping to integrate the libraries into consumer applications. The successful candidate will help to maintain and improve the build, test and configuration automation covering the entire lifecycle across several million lines of C++, java, and scala source code. The role also includes coordinating the change release with all technology and business stakeholders.

This requires that we build the libraries in a consistent manner on multiple different platforms, and integrate them into the varied application landscape, which is itself constantly changing. Our ability to patch, test and release new functionality within hours if not minutes can be critical to our success as a business and the successful candidate will be critical to helping us achieve this.
