Belfast is the global center for Citi’s ICRM Surveillance and Portals Technology, part of the broader Functions Technology (FT) organisation. The team is the global center for the creation of a sophisticated next generation Trade and Communications surveillance platform with data scientists and software development teams working together to use cutting edge technologies and techniques (including big data technologies) to build feature-based surveillance algorithms. These platforms allow users to monitor trading activity for indications of potential market abuse, insider dealing and other types of fraud.Programme descriptionWe provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed.We’re committed to teaching you the ropes and then some. During the programme, you will study for a Level 6 Software Engineering qualification with Queens’ University Belfast. The Software Engineering qualification is made up of 15 modules studied over three years. The modules are designed to progressively develop your technical knowledge, practical skills, and professional behaviours, while aligning closely with real-world software engineering practice. Aside from your peer group and manager, you will have a buddy and a dedicated program manager whilst on programme. You will have access to first class technical and business training from well-established team, plus Citi’s online training portal.Side by side job shadowing and coaching with your team will be combined with the opportunity to work with Compliance counterparts in one of the world’s largest investment banks. You will gain valuable insight into the workings within technology teams and how they deliver for various functions within the bank, in this case, the Surveillance Technology function. You will have exposure to new and cutting-edge technologies including big data plus the opportunity to experience different types of technology roles, from development to operations (DevOps) to support.Programme responsibilitiesAs an apprentice in Surveillance Technology, your typical day will be dynamic and involve a blend of learning, hands-on tasks, and observation. The focus will be on: Development - Apprentices will have the opportunity to contribute to writing Surveillance applications that aim to detect instances of market abuse that may occur in Citi's trading activities. You will learn to write clean, testable code that can be easily maintained by other developers in future.DevOps and Release Management - Your development peers will be writing the application code for new functionality, but our release management team decide if it can be released into our live systems or not. You will support the deployment and scheduling of the applications to ensure regulations are met. With strong change management techniques, we help to protect the live systems from unnecessary harm and keep our platforms stable.Organisational and operational efficiency improvements - Nobody likes to repeat the same actions every day and click the same buttons, so our apprentices get involved in efficiency improvements to see where tasks can be automated or streamlined to free their time to get involved in exciting projects!
