• Experience with React, Redux and Node.js.
• Experience building Java services using frameworks such as Spring Boot.
• Strong understanding of software design, API development and data modelling.
• Experience with automated testing and modern testing frameworks.
• Ability to take ownership of features from design through production.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with cloud platforms, particularly AWS (ECS, RDS).
• Understanding of asset management and financial markets, ideally Equities, Fixed Income and Multi Asset.
• Exposure to portfolio construction, quantitative analytics or financial modelling.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor or similar.
• Experience building AI-enabled applications, including LLM integrations, RAG, tool calling or agent-based workflows.
• Interest in applying AI to both software engineering and investment workflows.
