For more than 25 years, First Derivative has continuously delivered industry-shaping projects for some of the largest global banks and financial institutions.

With a depth of understanding and breadth of experience unequaled in the sector, First Derivative has a hard-won reputation for being able to solve the toughest operational, data, and technology challenges for its clients. Offering the industry’s largest, fully Capital Markets dedicated team, First Derivative is leading the data-driven, digital revolution across the evolving Capital Markets sector. With technical, logistical, and scalable expertise unsurpassed in the industry and a reputation for operational excellence, First Derivative pushes projects further, faster, and always beyond expectations.

To meet the growing demand for our technology and services, we are currently growing our Technology Engineering Team.
We have opportunities for graduates to get involved in a growing FinTech project which uses a diverse set of technologies primarily in reporting risk. Within this project you would initially be responsible for supporting the client banks risk and reporting systems and progress into a risk developer role.

You will work closely with senior risk developers to build your understanding of risk and the various technologies used across the banking industry. There is a strong technical aspect to the role and having a knowledge of financial markets would be an advantage.

We work as a team, but sometimes you will need to use your strong problem-solving skills on your own. Communication is also key – when you solve a new problem you will share what you learn from it and help build the team’s guidelines and procedures.

Criteria:

• An inquisitive mindset, an aptitude for problem-solving and technical skills to combine them.
• Excellent communication skills to present findings and articulate their business benefits.
• Experience with SQL or C# is beneficial but not an essential requirement.
• A self-starter who is constantly looking for opportunities to improve.
• Strong academic background – ideally a 2.1 degree in Computing, Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Physics, Engineering or a similar quantitative discipline.
• Available to work shift hours and weekends where required.
• Strong written and spoken English – good communication skills

Location:

This role will be based in Hong Kong.
