Overview

Job Description Salary: up to £175k base, circa £260-300k TC

This role offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced tech manager to lead a talented Treasury engineering team at one of the world's most prestigious hedge funds. You'll play a central role in shaping and delivering a large-scale Treasury project focused on margin replication, scenario analysis, and 'what-if' modelling. This is a critical initiative with significant visibility across Treasury, Risk Managers, Portfolio Managers, Business Managers, and the office of the CIO.

As Team Lead, your role is pivotal in ensuring the right system design, managing the project roadmap, and representing the team with senior stakeholders. You'll guide a strong team of engineers—currently 3 and rising to 5—to build, iterate, and expand a proof-of-concept system into a robust suite of analytics and tools. The project will run for several years; starting with margin replication models, then broadening into other areas of Treasury to shape something truly impactful. This ambitious build requires exceptional leadership, strong technical depth, and the ability to deliver results in a fast-paced environment. This position will suit a seasoned engineer with proven leadership experience and a passion for solving complex technical challenges.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor the Treasury engineering team (3 currently, growing to 5) to build, iterate, and expand a proof-of-concept system into a robust analytics and tools suite.
• Define system design and manage the project roadmap for a large-scale Treasury initiative focused on margin replication, scenario analysis, and what-if modelling.
• Collaborate with senior stakeholders across Treasury, Risk, Portfolio Management, Business Management, and the CIO office.
• Drive delivery in a fast-paced environment and ensure the team meets milestones over a multi-year horizon.
• Balance hands-on technical work with leadership responsibilities to maintain strong engineering depth.

Qualifications

• Minimum 10+ years' experience
• Deep experience developing distributed systems and microservices architecture
• Demonstrable leadership of engineering teams
• Technically solid, with a strong hands-on background (Python essential, with some Java and Golang exposure desirable)

Nice to have

• Financial industry experience, ideally in Treasury or cash/margin management
• Experience with ETL pipelines

Rewards and Incentives

• Significant salary + bonus and growth
• Greenfield work / big impact, highly visible project
