Goldman Sachs has embarked on one of its most ambitious engineering programs: the Consolidated Trade Ledger (CTL), a ground‑up reimagining of the front-to-back architecture that underpins every trade the firm executes. CTL is a flagship initiative jointly sponsored by Global Markets and Engineering leadership, and it sits at the very heart of the firm's core technology strategy.
This new, cloud-native platform will deliver the capacity, extensibility, scalability, and innovation capabilities to power the next two decades of growth for Global Markets, while simultaneously driving significant operational efficiencies. The program follows an engineering-principles-first approach and represents a rare chance to define the foundational systems of a world‑leading financial institution from the ground up.
As trading volumes continue to accelerate, we are building a small team of ambitious and highly experienced engineers to spearhead the migration of our entire global Equities trading business onto CTL.
You will work with a set of core CTL business services and adapt them for Equities Trading, creating capabilities that can be leveraged across Global Markets front, middle, and back office functions. This includes extending CTL's flexible data model to integrate seamlessly with existing production idioms, while meeting the diverse and often complex business requirements of a global 24x7 trading operation, while balancing stringent non‑functional demands for availability, latency, and resilience.
Critically, you will lean heavily into AI‑driven development. Using Goldman Sachs' AI tooling and agentic coding assistants, you will govern multiple AI agents, rapidly comprehend large legacy codebases, generate and assess production‑quality code, and accelerate every phase of the software development lifecycle.
