Risk Engineering Risk Engineering, which is part of the Risk Division, is a central part of the Goldman Sachs risk management framework, with primary responsibility to provide robust metrics, data-driven insights, and effective technologies for risk management. Risk Engineering is staffed globally with offices including Dallas, New Jersey, New York, Salt Lake City, London, Warsaw, Bengaluru, Singapore, and Tokyo. As a member of Risk Engineering, you will interface with a variety of divisions around the firm as well as the other regional offices. The interaction with numerous departments and the diverse projects that ensue allow for a challenging, varied and multi-dimensional work environment.
Non-Financial Risk Engineering Operational Resilience Engineering provides resilience measurement and monitoring for the firm’s important business services, a priority for regulators globally, with key deadlines over the next few years. Future state vision for this function is to design for resilience as we launch engineering platforms and products, share availability of critical services publicly with our clients, reduce operational loss and support costs, and continuously demise and delete unused systems. Our aims include:
- Defining a consistent taxonomy for business services, associated functions and engineering services
- Enabling dependency mapping across Engineering but also of people, processes, vendors and facilities
- Creating a scenario catalog with impact tolerances/error budgets, ensuring recovery plans are in place and automating regular testing
The program involves architecting and building the tooling from scratch on cutting edge technology stack that is highly scalable and performant to support 3k+ users firmwide. The tooling would be built with the intent to be fully cloud native over the next few years, while starting in a hybrid mode using containerized deployments in view of time to market. Given the regulatory nature of the program, all the data will be modelled in Alloy and go through data governance sign offs.
