Team Profile

Position Description

The ISG Federal Risk Technology team is looking to further expand its Montreal footprint. This is a unique opportunity for highly motivated candidates to contribute to the team locally, while working within a broader global team. The team is very closely-knit, and we pride ourselves on our culture!

The team is part of a new and exciting super department which aims to unify the business platforms across Fixed Income and Equities; a first of its kind.

This is a unique opportunity to participate in a large-scale technical initiative with strong backing from the business. Projects usually span developers in multiple regions, including Asia and Europe, so excellent communication and time-management skills would serve a successful candidate well!

A new joiner does not need to have finance knowledge but is expected to be curious and interested in learning about the businesses that Morgan Stanley operates in. Depending on the candidate’s strength and desires, they could learn about financial models in even greater detail.

The team develops front-office technology, so there is ample opportunity to learn by interacting with business users, desk strategists, market risk managers and other stakeholders within the Firm. Morgan Stanley is well-known for its strong technology core and many resources are

available internally to learn proprietary and non-proprietary technologies.

We expect the ideal candidate to have a desire to grow into a strong Scala developer. A successful candidate could have various backgrounds: strong Java, C# or Scala development and, above all, an interest in working with functional languages. Experience in either IntelliJ or Eclipse IDE, Git, and the desire to learn our proprietary environment is important.

We are looking for candidates who are excited about cutting-edge technologies as all the team’s work is done on the newly developed async-based calculation graph platform and backed by a bitemporal data store. Strong computer science fundamentals as well as an understanding of Unix or Linux would be helpful to a new joiner. Even more important is a desire to learn, an ability to work well with others and being excited to grow as a developer and build a career with us.

Required Skills

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A team-player attitude
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical or related field
• Passion for cutting edge technologies
• Solid experience using at least one Object-oriented programming language: Java, C++, C#, Python

• Strong interest in learning about finance

Nice-to-have Skills

• Experience in functional languages
• Git experience
• IntelliJ or Eclipse IDE experience
• Computer science fundamentals (client/server, multi-threading, memory management)
