As part of ourInvestment OperationsProduct Area, you will contribute to the development of enterprise products withinthisproduct area. You will collaborate with colleagues from Ukraine, Poland,Denmarkand Germany, while gaining deepexpertisein applied finance and modern software engineering practices.

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Product Value Delivery Translate business goals and user needs into product opportunities with clear valuehypotheses. Prototype solutions early and often - directly, to validate ideas before committing to fullbuild Define scope collaboratively with stakeholders, keeping scope anchored to user value rather than feature count. Track and communicate the impact of what ships; deliver outcome, not just theoutput. Engineering Quality Write and review technical requirements and acceptance criteria that leave no ambiguity at implementation time. Assess feasibility early and frame build-vs-integrate trade-offs in terms of delivery impact, risk, and value - enabling informed decisions across product and engineering. Be the last line of defense on quality: review and test deliverables against requirements, run validation, and hold the bar. Identify and highlight technical debt and systemic risks before they become deliveryblockers. Keep system documentation live and accurate - treated as a product asset, not anafterthought. AI-Enabled Development Use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, and others) fluently as part of your everyday workingroutines. Critically evaluate AI-generated artifacts - verify correctness and architectural fit beforeaccepting. Guide your team on responsible AI usage, when to trust it, when to override it, and how to review it carefully Identify where AI can accelerate prototyping cycles and reduce low-value work in theteam. Team Agile Practices Maintain a healthy, prioritized product backlog - each item sized, scoped, and ready for theteam. Work closely with software engineers during implementation - unblock, review and course-correct in real time Be the connective tissue between stakeholders and the delivery team: clear in bothdirections.

WHAT WE VALUE

An experienced Product Engineer doesn’t wait for a spec to be handed to them - they shape it. They prototype before they present, validate before build, and measure after ship. They push back on scope that doesn't serve users, and they focus on quality that does. They make the team faster by removing ambiguity, not by adding process. Skills Experience Strong software engineering fundamentals in development and testingdisciplines. Demonstrated ability to move from problem statement to working prototypequickly. Experience writing precise technical requirements and acceptancecriteria. Hands-on quality assurance: test design, validation, and defecttriage. Experience working directly with clients or externalcounterparties. Solid grounding in financial instruments - Repos, Derivatives, or relatedcollateral/securitiesproduct Comfortable running demos, gathering requirements from business users, and translating business workflows into system behavior. Ability to frame engineering decisions in terms of user and businessvalue. Comfort working in ambiguity and structuring problems before solvingthem. Strong stakeholder communication - able to translate freely between technical and non-technical audiences. Regular use of AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude, or equivalent) in a professionalcontext. Demonstrated critical evaluation of AI-generated outputs - not just accepting but interrogating them. Understanding of AI limitations relevant to software delivery: hallucination, context loss, security blind spots. Agile practitioner: fluent in Scrum ceremonies, backlog management, and iterativedelivery. Strong documentation habits; treats the knowledge base as part of theproduct. Collaborative by default, decisive whenneeded.
