About the role
You are building the technology that sits at the heart of one of the largest investment platforms in the world.
This is a front office engineering role at a global asset manager where the tech function is not a support function. It is a core part of how the firm competes. You are working on the platforms traders use every day, and the work you do directly shapes how the business operates.
You are building and evolving front office trading platforms using C# on the backend and React or Angular on the frontend. The infrastructure is modern and cloud-based, and you are working in an environment that takes engineering seriously. This is not a firm where technology is an afterthought.
If you are currently working on the sell side, or already on the buy side looking for a new challenge, this is a strong move. You bring the finance knowledge with you and you get to apply it in a buyside environment where the pace, the culture and the long-term focus are genuinely different. You are not just building for clients, you are building for the firm itself.
The role is hybrid with a mix of in person and home working, so you get the collaboration without losing the flexibility.
On the technical side, you are coming in with solid C# experience and confidence in either React or Angular. You have a background in financial services, ideally fixed income, though experience in equities or derivatives works well here too. Strong academics matter to this firm.
This would be a natural next step if you are a few years into your career and ready to move somewhere where your work carries real weight.
