• Develop backend services and data-driven tools primarily using Python
• Contribute to lightweight front-end interfaces using React
• Work within a Microsoft-centric ecosystem (Azure, Microsoft Fabric, data lake technologies)
• Collaborate directly with portfolio managers, analysts, and business stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver impactful solutions
• Operate in a small, agile team where initiative and curiosity are essential
• Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the firm’s technology stack and engineering practices

• Ability to clearly articulate and differentiate between major asset classes
• Exposure to React, or willingness to work on frontend components
• Some experience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred, but not essential)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage directly with front office users
• A genuine passion for technology, problem-solving, and building tools for investment teams

Nice to Have

• Experience working in small, high-velocity engineering teams
• Familiarity with data engineering concepts or modern data platforms
• Exposure to ESG, portfolio analytics, or investment workflows

Culture & Working Style

• Small, collaborative team with direct access to business stakeholders
• Fast-paced, high-impact environment
• Strong emphasis on ownership, autonomy, and innovation
• Ideal for ambitious developers eager to build meaningful solutions in asset management

Working Arrangements

• Hybrid model: typically 2 days per week in the London office
• Highly flexible approach—office days can vary week to week
• Opportunity to work abroad for several weeks per year
