* Want to solve one of the most challenging big data problems in finance today? Are you excited by the idea of working directly with front-office and risk quants on massive-scale analytics for critical regulations like FRTB? Do you want to tame billions of rows of complex financial data with Apache Spark and deliver insights to senior leaders in a fraction of a second?

Citi is looking for an elite, hands-on technologist to engineer the next-generation analytics platform for our Market Risk organization. This isn't just another data job. You will be the architect and builder of a high-performance system that ingests, processes, and serves petabytes of risk calculation data, making it instantly accessible and understandable to the entire firm.

You will take the raw, trade-level Present Value (PV) outputs from our Historical VaR and FRTB Expected Shortfall engines and transform them into a strategic data asset.

Your impact will be immediate and far-reaching. You will build the data pipelines that handle immense volumes, create intelligent APIs that democratize data access, and leverage cutting-edge OLAP and NLP technologies to provide unparalleled drill-down and analytical capabilities. You will be the go-to expert who empowers senior stakeholders in the Markets and Risk organizations to make faster, smarter decisions.

** Key Responsibilities*
* + Architect and build robust, scalable data pipelines to ingest and process billions of trade-level PV calculations from various stress engines.

+ Design and deliver a suite of "intelligent data APIs" that provide flexible, on-demand access to both aggregated and non-aggregated risk data for teams across the firm.

+ Integrate Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities to create intuitive, query-based interfaces for data exploration, lowering the barrier to entry for complex analytics.

+ Load and model massive aggregated datasets into high-performance OLAP engines like Apache Pinot, Apache Druid, and Trino.

+ Build powerful, interactive analytical tools and dashboards on top of the OLAP layer, providing summary views and lightning-fast drill-down capabilities.

+ Partner directly with senior stakeholders in the Front Office, Quantitative teams, and Risk Management to understand their analytical needs and deliver innovative solutions.

** What We're Looking For*
* + A true passion for data, analytics, and solving complex problems at massive scale.

+ A degree in a quantitative or technical field such as Computer Science, Financial Mathematics, or Financial Engineering.

+ Expert-level, hands-on experience with big data technologies, particularly  
** Apache Spark** .

+ Proven experience with high-performance OLAP databases such as  
** Apache Pinot, Apache Druid, or Trino** .

+ Strong programming skills in  
** Python, Java
** and/or  
** Scala** , and expert-level  
** SQL** .

+ Strong background in fundamental computer science concepts, including data structures and algorithms.

+ A mindset for 'AI-first' development, constantly looking for ways to embed intelligence into systems.

+ Experience or a strong interest in applying  
** Natural Language Processing (NLP)
** to data access and analytics.

+ A knack for solving 'needle in a haystack' problems, with a talent for debugging complex data and access issues.

+ Experience in the financial industry with an understanding of market risk, derivatives, and risk calculations (VaR, Stress Testing, PV) is highly desirable.

+ Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and lead technical projects.

+ Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to collaborate with senior business and quantitative stakeholders.
