As an Engineer within the AHL OMS team you’ll be building the Order Management System underpinning the systematic investment process for AHL. This is an opportunity to work closely with our trading desk, quant strategy teams, and operations to deliver an Order Management System that is flexible, robust, and performant to safely trade millions of orders annually and enable the development of new investment strategies. You’ll have direct exposure to a wide set of asset classes covering both listed and OTC markets, building deep understanding in how they’re executed and booked.

The Team

We are a small team within our Markets Platform Engineering group, with the OMS sitting between AHL strategies and our execution systems which act as the interface to the market. We’re in the core position of the investment process and interact with many other parts of the firm, providing a unique opportunity to build comprehensive knowledge across the trading lifecycle. It’s a particularly exciting time to join as we’re currently investing heavily, evaluating our stack to increase both its performance and agility in onboarding new flows to support AHL’s future growth.

Our Technology

Our systems run on Linux via containers, with most systems built using Java. We use Git for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, Docker for containerisation, Ansible for architecture automation, and Slack for internal communication. That said, our technology is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.

Advantageous

• An excellent understanding of financial markets and instruments.
• Experience with FIX.
• Python knowledge.
• Experience of front office software and/or trading systems development e.g. in a hedge fund or investment bank.
• Expertise in building distributed systems with service-based or event-driven architectures, and concurrent processing.
• Experience of web-based development (TypeScript).
• Relevant mathematical knowledge e.g. statistics, asset pricing, time-series analysis optimisation algorithms.

Personal Attributes

• Strong academic record and a degree with high mathematical and computing content e.g. Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or Physics from a leading university
• Craftsman-like approach to building software; takes pride in engineering excellence and instils these values in others
• Demonstrable passion for technology e.g. personal projects, open-source involvement
• Intellectually robust with an analytic approach to problem solving
• Self-organised with the ability to effectively manage time across multiple projects and with competing business demands and priorities
• Focused on delivering value to the business with relentless efforts to improve process
• Strong interpersonal skills; able to establish and maintain a close working relationship with quantitative researchers, traders and senior business people alike
• Confident communicator; able to argue a point concisely and deal positively with conflicting views.

In general, Technology roles are expected to be in the office for at least 3 days a week. However, the specifics can vary based on the role, team, and individual circumstances, and are ultimately subject to the manager’s discretion.
