Who We Look For

Goldman Sachs Engineers are innovators and problem-solvers, building solutions in risk management, big data, mobile and more. We look for creative collaborators who evolve, adapt to change and thrive in a fast-paced global environment.

The Project.

We have embarked on a highly ambitious, visible and impactful project which wholly reimagines the functional architecture needed to support the firm’s trading business and to empower the next two decades of growth by developing an extensible and scalable platform which also delivers operational efficiencies. This multi-year effort is based around an engineering-principles-first approach and dovetails with the firm’s core technology strategy.

The Role.

We are looking for engineers to work on both the infrastructure side of the project as well as on developing the core business model and the services around it.

On the Infrastructure side of the project, the work consists of establishing the capabilities of the platform, as well as developing the development environment which will form the basis for other engineers’ experience with the platform.

On the Core Business side of the project, the work consists of establishing an extensible model that can easily and seamlessly represent all of the firm’s business; of developing core services for that business model and collaborating with engineers in the business teams to develop their services on top of the core services.
