Description

For our end client in the Swiss banking environment, we are looking for a very experienced Expert Application Developer for market risk applications as follows:

https://www.ghrgroup.ch/de/vacancies/A9451

Starting Situation & Mandate:

• Our end client in the Swiss banking environment is further developing the application landscape for market risk and trading. This is not a greenfield project, but an established, productive system: conceptualizing and implementing new features, further developing existing components, and expanding interfaces to surrounding systems – trading systems, market data, reference data, reporting, and risk platforms. The team comprises eight developers and nine subject matter experts; requirements come from the business department, Risk Management for Market and Credit Risk, and Trading.
• The end client has set three hard filters that must be met above all else: Java and Kotlin, Kubernetes, and German AND English at C2 level. English proficiency level (CPE) is meant – near-native, not "good business English." Anyone not meeting one of these three requirements will not be considered for this mandate. An expert level with 8 to 12 years of relevant experience is sought.
• Start: 2026-11
• Duration: 12 Monate
• Remote: onsite
• Location: Zürich, Schweiz, CH
• Languages: German
