Job Description:

Have you ever wanted to work in one of the top Alternative Investment funds in the world? Or maybe you already do, but want a change of scenery and less red tape. If so, this is for you.

They are looking to bring in an exceptional software engineer who can deliver hugely scalable, high-performance streaming operations, as well as owning all aspects of development projects from start to finish.

In terms of your experience, you’ll need to come from a strong software development background, building software to support their Risk, Middle Office, or Data team. You will need to have strong development experience with SQL and one of either C#, Python, or Java.

To really stand out, a first-class degree from a Russell Group University along with a background in financial services would be exactly what they need.

They have a lovely office based in Mayfair with circa 320 employees. They also have offices in New York and Hong Kong. This is a global, $25bn+ AUM Hedge Fund with a strong track record for successful returns. It’s stable and has grown continuously over the past 10 years and continues to do so across their technology departments.

Starting salaries are offered at £160-200k a year + bonuses, with top performers earning over £280,000 in total compensation.

If you're ready to solve business problems, willing to take ownership of projects, and build re-useable and performant solutions, then please get in touch for more information.
