• Participating in design reviews to ensure clean integration with downstream systems
• Building well‑tested, maintainable, and extensible solutions

What They’re Looking For

• Strong experience in software and data platform engineering
• Advanced Python skills for analytical and platform development
• Strong SQL and data modeling capabilities
• Deep understanding of different data storage patterns and trade‑offs
• Hands‑on experience with cloud infrastructure and containerised environments
• Familiarity with modern data platforms, databases, and orchestration tools
• Clear communicator with strong analytical judgment

Background

• Degree in a technical or quantitative discipline
• Senior‑level experience building and supporting data platforms
• Track record of owning systems in production environments

Why This Role

• Data platforms are central to the investment process
• Opportunity to influence architecture and platform standards
• Close alignment with research and portfolio teams
• Hybrid working with a high‑performing, engineering‑led culture
