As one of our talented Trading and Risk Technology team , you’ll be at the absolute center of cloud and technological evolution, using the latest tools and platforms to future-proof capital markets
Cloud in capital markets
The adoption of cloud technology as a key element of a capital markets strategy has risen in recent years due to the need for cost reduction, increased ROI, extra agility to comply with regulatory changes, flexibility, greater scalability and so on. The public cloud enables capital markets companies to access and analyze vast amounts of data in real-time. This helps them make more informed business decisions and improve their overall performance.
However, the cloud journey also presents significant challenges. An effective cloud strategy must address issues like security, re-architecting applications and the complex migration process:
- Data must be migrated correctly, and applications configured for running in the cloud
- Architecture and workloads designed to run on-prem must be optimized (or realigned) to take full advantage of cloud-based services
- You’re handling sensitive data, so one of the biggest issues is to protect that data
- Complying with a wide range of regulations (e.g., GDPR and PSD2) can be challenging in a public cloud environment
Companies are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the competition. One method is collaborating with specialized trading and risk management platform vendors and utilizing their advanced technology. By leveraging the power of the cloud services provider (CSP) we can supply financial services organizations with the scalability, flexibility and security they need to remain competitive in volatile and fast-paced markets.

Internal Mobility
Luxoft also promotes from within, spreading the recruitment message during events like internal mobility marathons. We tell participants what we’re doing, the type of projects we undertake, how we execute, how we keep our consultants motivated while dealing with any likelihood of burnout and outline the skill sets required for successful delivery. After fielding a wide range of questions, some apply on the spot while others reach out in due course with the welcome message, “I really want to work with you guys.”
Our aim is to attract and develop a regular stream of talented candidates. In the meantime, we try to persuade the odd one or two Luxoft people who might be thinking about moving on to reconsider by reaffirming the excellent internal mobility opportunities available and reminding them of the reasons they joined in the first place.
Luxoft Academies
The Luxoft Academies were established in 2012 to offer courses on financial markets, project management, soft skills and detailed platform-oriented topics. Our Academies are highly customizable, but all include the fundamental issues to ensure candidates understand overall concepts.
The advanced Academy program is structured and tailored according to product area. Here’s an overview of a typical Academy program:
This is how our Academies proceed from mobilize to operate — mobilize a few rounds of training, work with senior backup in the shadowing mode and then deploy the project.
We tested several training approaches in a series of internal academies to ensure maximum understanding and retention of information. Trainees access all Academy material within Luxoft’s dedicated training environment.
Four benefits of learning on the job with Luxoft Academies
- Packaged solution programs
- Brown-bag sessions on various market themes

Our training approach applies to all packaged platforms. These are the various learning, training and coaching activities we offer in addition to the practice, thought leadership, communities, Academies and Brown Bag sessions that enable us to think outside the box.
This Academy example includes an illustration of a consultant’s recruitment journey.
