Job description

Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

Senior Forward Deployed Engineer – Investment Technology – London

(Tech stack: Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, Investment Management, IBOR, Investment Operations, Investment Lifecycle, SQL, Python, Investment Data, Asset Management, Financial Markets, Fixed Income, Trade Lifecycle, APIs, Data Integration, Front Office, Middle Office, Investment Technology, Senior Forward Deployed Engineer)

Our client is an exciting and rapidly growing investment technology company whose cloud-based platform is transforming the way some of the world’s leading financial institutions manage their investment data and operations. Following continued growth, they are looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to join their highly talented team.

This is not a traditional software engineering role. They are looking for someone with strong Investment Management and Investment Operations knowledge who genuinely understands the Investment Lifecycle and how investment data and financial products move from front to back office. A strong understanding of IBOR (Investment Book of Record) environments would be particularly valuable.

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with clients to understand their operating models, investment workflows and data challenges before helping configure and integrate solutions around their requirements. You’ll need excellent Investment Management domain knowledge, including a strong understanding of the Investment Lifecycle, Investment Operations, financial products and IBOR.

This is a technically light role rather than a development position. You should be comfortable working with SQL, APIs, data integrations and some Python scripting, but your knowledge of Investment Management, Investment Operations and the Investment Lifecycle is considerably more important than advanced software engineering skills. Experience working with IBOR, investment data, fixed income and other asset classes would be highly advantageous.

They are particularly interested in people from investment technology, asset management, implementation, consulting, investment data or Investment Operations backgrounds who combine strong client-facing skills with an understanding of IBOR and the wider Investment Lifecycle. You should be comfortable discussing complex Investment Management processes with senior stakeholders and using tools such as SQL and Python to help deliver solutions.

The successful Senior Forward Deployed Engineer will have an excellent understanding of Investment Management, Investment Operations, IBOR and the Investment Lifecycle, alongside strong communication and client-facing skills. You should also possess good technical literacy, including exposure to SQL, Python, APIs and data integration.

This position comes with the following benefits:

• Performance related bonus
• Generous pension
• Private healthcare
• Dental and optical cover
• Learning and development allowance
• Gym and wellbeing benefits
• Flexible / hybrid working
• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
• Birthday off

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a rapidly growing investment technology company and work directly with leading financial institutions on complex, business-critical investment and data challenges.

Location: London, UK / Hybrid Working

Salary: £120K + Bonus + Pension + Benefits
