Operations Analyst

About WSD

WSD is a leading provider of SaaS technology for manufacturers of structured products and OTC derivatives, spanning pre‑trade workflows, document production, and data dissemination to exchanges, data vendors, and buy‑side consumers, plus lifecycle management.

WSD maintains complex proprietary data models for structured products and OTCs which are used throughout our platform to automate document creation and data propagation. These long-standing data models have been developed in collaboration with a consortium of Tier 1 banks and uphold a philosophy of modularity and future extensibility.

Role purpose

We’re hiring  Operations Analyst to our Delivery Engineer Team (Data modelling & ingestion) to develop our proprietary data model for structured products and OTCs, and bridge complex external structured‑product inputs (issuer/internal systems, trading/issuance workflows, market/exchange/vendor feeds) into WSD’s platform through robust workflow orchestration, transformation/mapping logic, and automated operational reporting.

 You’ll combine engineering, delivery execution, and operational reliability to extend the scope of supported products under our data model, reduce manual interventions, and increase automation and transparency across client delivery pipelines.

 

What you’ll do (key responsibilities)

• Delivery engineering & implementation: Translate Industry / Client / Product Owner needs into technical specifications, data model design and ingestion code; deliver safely into production with repeatable patterns.
• Data ingestion & transformation (JavaScript‑heavy): Build and maintain transformation/mapping logic from complex client XML/JSON payloads to WSD’s data models using server‑side JavaScript (and XSLT / alternative mapping technologies where appropriate).
• Cross‑team collaboration: Work closely with core engineering teams (including Java backend teams) to ensure seamless integration between platform logic and client delivery workflows.
• Quality & controls: Deliver to L3 expectations—reliable, maintainable code; participation in code reviews; and testing discipline aligned to WSD’s standards.

 

Business / domain knowledge

• Financial markets experience and comfort with capital‑markets concepts (e.g., products, issuance/trade lifecycles, data flows, operational controls).
• Strongly preferred: Structured Products
• Front‑office/trading adjacent roles, structuring support, trade support/trade management, middle office automation, capital markets BA/implementation, or fintech delivery roles supporting trading/issuance workflows.

 

Skills & experience

• JavaScript (or PHP / other programming experience): Strong server‑side JavaScript capability (Node.js / backend scripting) to implement non‑trivial transformation logic and debug real‑world edge cases.
• Data formats & integration: Experience working with XML/JSON and integration patterns; ability to design maintainable structures, mappings and transformations.
• Engineering fundamentals (L3): Git/version control, collaboration in an agile delivery environment, and commitment to code quality and testing.
