This is a software engineer role within the global Structuring Technology team focussed on the Investable Indices platform.  This platform spans algorithmic strategies, client driven strategies and custom baskets.  The expectation is that the candidate will help shape and drive the significant re-engineering effort that’s underway to industrialize, streamline flows, reduce manual touchpoints and drive towards STP in order to significantly grow the business.  This is a fantastic opportunity to join an award winning technology team working on a range of greenfield projects whilst leveraging the firm’s core infrastructure products and services.

Some of the key initiatives the role will involve include: working with the global team in developing the strategic core infrastructure used to model the index strategies (whether algorithmic or client driven), sourcing underlying reference and fundamentals data used to model the signals and back test strategies, build and deliver reporting content (e.g. performance/back test results) and client driven functionality (e.g. user initiated index rebalance) on our external facing web portal. Technologies utilized by the team include Python, Java and HTML5.

This exciting FO facing role involves working closely with our highly enthusiastic business partners to ensure development efforts are focused in the right way at the right time and that they satisfy business needs in the immediate and long term.
