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 Brokerage, Clearance & Expense (BC&E) team develops/enhances a suite of tools used for post-execution portfolio, calculators, automated reconciliation, automated receivables and payables. This involves external connectivity for trades to global clearing houses and exchanges, internal trade sourcing, matching and invoice lifecycle management. The team works closely with our business and operations counterparts on product specifications and workflows. This gives team members the opportunity to learn about the wide variety of asset classes our clients trade in, as well as have a direct impact on business efficiency in a technology-intensive business where Goldman Sachs is the market leader. Client demands and high trading volumes require us to constantly look at new technology products available in the firm/market. As a result, BC&E is constantly expanding its platform to offer more products to the clients along with creating opportunities for the team members to gain exposure to the latest technologies.
This will be a fantastic learning opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies applied at scale, get exposure to business and operations, innovate and make a real impact to the bottom line. We are looking for self-motivated people, driven to learn about technology and the business it supports, who voice their opinions, and drive the team forward through innovation and new ideas.
The technologies we use are broad, with our technology stack consisting of at least Java, React, MongoDB, SQL, Apache Spark, and Python. A willingness to learn new languages, technologies and the business, and apply best software development practices will be key to your success in this role.
At Goldman Sachs, our culture is one of teamwork, innovation and meritocracy. We often say our people are our greatest asset and we take pride in supporting each colleague both professionally and personally. From collaborative work spaces and mindfulness classes to working from home and flexible work options, we offer our people the support they need to reach their goals in and outside the office.
