Learn the Adaptiv market risk platform, including its architecture, configurations, batch processes, calculations, and integrations
Provide production support for Adaptiv processing, including:
Monitoring batch runs and system health
Diagnosing and resolving job failures or data issues
Supporting month‑end, stress, and regulatory processing
Participate in an on‑call or operational support rotation as required
Platform Engineering & Maintenance
Maintain and configure Adaptiv components to support evolving business and regulatory needs
Perform environment maintenance, including upgrades, patching, configuration changes, and platform tuning
Implement improvements to:
Stability and reliability
Observability and monitoring
Error handling and recoverability
Reduce manual intervention through automation and better operational tooling
Incident & Problem Management
Serve as a technical responder for Adaptiv‑related incidents
Partner with vendors, infrastructure teams, and internal stakeholders to resolve complex issues
Perform root‑cause analysis and implement preventative fixes
Contribute to post‑incident reviews and continuous‑improvement plans
Collaboration & Domain Learning
Work closely with:
Market Risk and Credit Risk partners
Quantitative and analytics teams
Data engineering and platform teams
Build working knowledge of:
Market risk concepts (e.g., VaR, sensitivities, stress testing)
How Adaptiv outputs are consumed downstream
Translate business and risk requirements into technical platform changes
Documentation & Knowledge Sharing
Create and maintain technical documentation covering:
Adaptiv workflows and configurations
Common failure modes and resolutions
Operational runbooks
Contribute to reducing single‑point‑of‑failure knowledge through shared ownership and documentation
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience
3 years of experience in a platform engineering, production support, or systems engineering role
Experience Supporting Batch‑oriented, Compute‑intensive Platforms In Production
Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose complex system and data issues
Working knowledge of:
Linux/Unix environments
Scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell)
Relational databases (e.g., SQL)
Platform support
Comfort working in a highly controlled, regulated production environment
Prior experience with Adaptiv, market risk platforms, or risk analytics systems
Background in financial services, capital markets, or risk technology
Familiarity with:
Scheduling tools
Cloud platforms and data services
Monitoring and observability tooling
Exposure to market risk concepts (training provided if not previously experienced)
What Success Looks Like in This Role
You become a trusted engineer for the Adaptiv platform
Production issues are handled calmly, effectively, and with minimal escalation
Platform reliability and transparency improve measurably over time
Operational knowledge is documented and shared across the team
Over time, dependency on specific individuals is reduced through improved platform maturity
Why This Role Matters
Adaptiv supports mission‑critical risk calculations that are foundational to business decision‑making and regulatory compliance. The stability of this platform directly impacts operational risk, regulatory confidence, and team sustainability. This role is central to protecting and modernizing that backbone.
