• Strong analytical skills, including comfort with SQL and modern data tools to validate hypotheses, measure outcomes, and ground product decisions.
• Experience working within a technology team for a financial services firm, with a preference for alternative asset management, hedge funds, or sell‑side trading.
• Proficiency operating within a modern software development lifecycle, including agile delivery, change control, and CI/CD practices.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, including the competence to communicate with business and technical coworkers and to author documentation appropriate for the user community, development teams, and senior management.
