Your Team:

The Advanced Engineer is a solutions-focused, delivery-oriented role, responsible for following established guidelines and identifying and resolving problems across the Investment Technology platform. With hands-on skills in at least one programming language (e.g. Python), modern web/UI frameworks such as Streamlit or ReactJS, and at least one database platform such as Snowflake or PostgreSQL, they will join a squad designing, developing and supporting solutions that advance business capabilities in Investment Technology, applying AI-assisted tooling and techniques where they add value.

Working across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements and design through to build, test, deployment and support, the Advanced Engineer is expected to act with a degree of independence, while referring more complex problems to the Senior Engineering Manager or other subject matter experts.

Contribute to opportunities to apply AI/ML and GenAI across the platform, translating defined business requirements into practical, well-engineered technical solutions.

Build production-ready solutions using modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, code quality, observability and data quality controls.

Support data quality, monitoring, reporting and process administration activities to help ensure accurate and consistent outcomes.

Identify and resolve technical problems, referring more complex issues to more experienced colleagues.

Collaborate with business stakeholders, engineers and end users, and partner with Cloud Teams, Enterprise Architecture and Security to ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and the wider Investments strategy.

Design, develop and maintain software, data pipelines and analytical workflows that generate investment analytics and insights for end users across the Investment Technology platform.
