About Beacon Platform by CWAN

Beacon is a cloud-native, cross-asset risk analytics and quantitative development platform used by top-tier asset managers and banks. It provides a transparent, extensible environment for building, deploying and scaling valuation models, pricing libraries and risk analytics across asset classes — including derivatives, structured products and fixed income. It combines pre-built financial applications with a versatile developer infrastructure that lets quants and model developers write custom pricing and valuation logic, run scenario analysis, and integrate models directly into front-office and risk workflows.

The role
- You will own the reliability of Clearwater's risk and analytics applications in engineering terms — designing and building the automation, tooling and operational architecture that keeps the overnight and intraday pipelines correct and on time for asset managers and insurers who need to see their portfolios each morning.
- This is a senior engineering role on the application layer. The distinction that matters at this level:



you are expected to retire classes of failure, not instances of them. When the same problem appears for the third time, we want the engineer who stops patching it and builds the thing that makes it impossible to fail. That work competes for time with the model and feature changes the quant and risk teams are asking for, so you will also need to argue for it in their terms — what the recurring failure is costing them now, and what fixing it properly buys them. Cloud fluency matters because the applications run on AWS and you need to operate them competently there, but you will not be provisioning the infrastructure beneath them.
- You will be based in Mumbai alongside the market data team — a group with front-office training who partner on the genuinely hard analytics questions, not only on data plumbing. That adjacency is the point of the placement: you will sit with the quant, risk and market data
