The Role
A leading investment firm is looking for a Data Engineer to join a team responsible for delivering the datasets that power research, analytics and trading workflows across the business.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building reliable data solutions, working closely with technical and business users, and taking ownership of data from acquisition through to production consumption. You'll be involved in shaping how data is sourced, transformed, monitored and delivered across a sophisticated investment environment.
The firm offers the opportunity to work with large and diverse datasets, modern technology, and a highly collaborative environment where engineering work has a direct impact on investment outcomes. Specific compensation and benefits details are available on request.
