Software Engineer – Investment Systems

This role sits within a core technology group responsible for building the platforms that power a systematic investment process.

You’ll work on shared systems used across research, trading, and portfolio teams — taking complex investment ideas and turning them into reliable, scalable software. Technology is viewed as a competitive advantage here, and engineers are given real ownership over what they build.

This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone who enjoys working close to the business while still focusing on strong design and modern engineering practices.

• Designing and building features on a growing internal platform
• Developing and improving microservice‑based systems
• Improving platform architecture, resilience, and performance
• Contributing to shared web and backend foundations used by multiple teams
• Partnering with other engineers and internal users to solve real problems

• Solid experience building production software in Python or another OO language
• Strong understanding of software design patterns and system architecture
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD, version control, and Dev Ops practices
• Experience working in cloud environments (AWS or similar)
• Familiarity with containers and orchestration tools
• Comfortable working with event‑driven or message‑based systems
• Clear communicator with a strong sense of ownership

• Several years of professional software engineering experience
• Track record of building reliable systems used by real users

Experience in platform engineering, automated testing, or cloud certifications is a plus, but not required.

• Technology is central to how the business operates
• Opportunity to influence core platforms, not just features
• Strong engineering standards with room to evolve them
• Hybrid working in a mature, collaborative environment
