The Opportunity

Prime Finance, a key growth area for the global Equities franchise, is undergoing a transformational change. It is a complex and nuanced global business, operating at scale, requiring significant technological investment to make our platform the best in class.

We are building a team of engineers to spearhead the delivery of high‑impact financing projects, working alongside Stock Loan, Inventory Management and Synthetic Product Group (SPG).

Your Impact

• Partner with Stock Loan, Inventory Management and SPG to design and build the platforms that power funding strategies, optimise inventory allocation, and streamline stock loan workflows — directly improving financing efficiency for the firm and our clients.
• Own the end‑to‑end engineering delivery of strategic funding initiatives, from requirements through production, ensuring the business can move faster and capture opportunities ahead of the market.
• Build scalable, reliable platforms that reduce manual processes in funding and inventory workflows, enabling the Equities business to handle growing volumes at lower operational cost.

What You Will Do

• Innovate creative solutions to complex business and technical problems, building wide‑reaching capabilities impacting multiple business areas.
• Partner with other engineers, domain experts, and global stakeholders to understand, model, and digitise the firm's business processes and strategies, challenging entrenched practices and driving projects across teams.
• Manage the full lifecycle of software components, from requirements analysis through design, development, testing, and release, in line with robust SDLC and Agile best practices.
• Be proactive in your approach, managing both daily tasks and a project role, building upon teamwork and communication skills as you become integrated within the team.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's / Master's degree, preferably in a STEM subject, such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, etc.
• 7+ years of professional software development experience in an object‑orientated language (Java, Python, C++, or other OO technology) including data structures and algorithms.
• A good understanding of the principles behind test‑driven development (TDD) with hands‑on experience of unit testing.
• Strong SDLC practices: version control, CI/CD pipelines, automated build/test/deploy workflows.
• Ability to rapidly navigate, understand, and debug large and unfamiliar codebases — with and without AI assistance.
• Ability to analyse non‑trivial interdependencies between systems and possess excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills.
• Good communication and collaboration skills across technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Highly motivated with a commitment to delivering to timelines.
• An interest in financial services is expected; prior experience is not required.
