Traders in our client’s derivatives trading room use an in-house developed booking and position management platform. This platform allows them to track the risks associated with this position and manage the life cycle of structured products, from issuance to redemption. The entire platform is based on message-oriented middleware that gives it robustness (fault tolerance), reliability (ensuring that messages are processed only once) and performance (load balancing) while offering reduced support costs (deployment and hot addition/removal of components).

The scope of this project covers:

• The booking of electronic performances
• Manual entry and modification of trades
• Real-time visualization of positions and risks associated with that position
• Automated management of the expiry of options and futures positions
• Notification of trades to MO and external regulators/supervisors
• The issuance of structured products FO to BO
• The management of events in the life cycle of structured products (coupon fall, dividend, maturities, etc.)
• Position holding and end-of-day PnL
• The loan loan

The service will consist of:

• Design and implement changes or bug fixes identified by applying the development and quality standards of the team: guarantee the homogeneity and congruence of the architecture, write unit tests, write automated functional tests, measure performance impacts, document code and services exposed to other teams.
• Provide second-level support to Level 1 support and trading room traders;
• Participate in the analysis of the business need, or even in the drafting of detailed specifications in some cases;
• Participate in the analysis and architecture phases of new projects;
• Improve the work environment and practices used in agreement with other team members (e.g. automation of deployments, implementation of shared design patterns, refactoring, code reviews). The team works as much as possible in compliance with certain agile practices from Scrum in particular.
