Innovation Hub:
Jefferies is creating a Technology Innovation Hub in Pune, a greenfield opportunity to build the systems that power global markets. As our first India technology center, this hub brings together hands on builders who engineer the platforms behind Jefferies’ growth across capital markets, investment banking, and institutional securities. We’re scaling toward an elite team of 500 engineers while maintaining the agility, ownership, and meritocratic spirit that defines Jefferies. From cloud and data to AI, risk, and core business technologies, teams in Pune will lead high impact work with a global mandate.
IT Risk Technology:
Risk Technology is a global, cross functional team responsible for enterprise risk platforms at Jefferies. The team works closely with Risk Management and Trading to identify, measure, and manage risk across the firm. It designs, implements, and supports largescale, data intensive systems that facilitate risk data management, advanced analytics, visualization, analysis, and reporting across various asset classes.

Team members in India participate in the full lifecycle of the risk platform development — from design and engineering through enhancement and support — and take ownership of critical systems used by risk managers and senior leadership worldwide.
