JPMorgan Software Engineer III - Athena Trade & Risk Services Reference Data 

Argentina, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires 

648148648

As a seasoned Software Engineer, your goal is to design, develop, and deliver software components within the Athena ecosystem. You will collaborate with a team of innovators and technologists focused on creating advanced solutions that enhance our business operations. Your extensive knowledge in analyzing, designing, coding, testing, and deploying software will be crucial in solving problems in both business and technical contexts. Your expertise across various technology domains will be essential in setting strategic direction and addressing complex, mission-critical issues, both internally and externally. Best of all, you’ll leverage a vast network of technologists from around the globe.

As part of the Reference Data group within Athena Trade & Risk Services, your role will be to design and deliver technical products aimed at making the usage and discovery of reference data across different asset classes a seamless experience. You will work directly with line of business software engineers to understand business use cases, formulate problem statements, and be responsible for the full pipeline of software delivery. You will build relationships with internal clients and take full ownership of software delivery to assist with business migrations to the Athena platform. You should be a self-sufficient developer comfortable tackling new and complex problem sets. Prior experience with Reference Data is preferable, but more important is the ability to quickly grasp new concepts and flows and back that up with robust, high-quality, maintainable, and reusable code.
