Financial Software Engineer
Location: London / Hybrid
Contract: Initial contract - 6 months +
Day rate: £600 - £700 p/d
The role
A growing financial-markets business is looking for a hands-on Finance Reconciliation Engineer to build new reconciliations within its existing finance and operational systems environment.
The initial focus will be on daily P&L, cash and bank reconciliations, together with the integrations needed to bring data into the reconciliation platform.
This is an engineering and delivery role. The successful contractor must have experience building reconciliation rules and integrations, rather than solely processing or investigating reconciliation breaks as a user.
Responsibilities
- Design and build new financial reconciliations.
- Develop daily P&L, cash and bank reconciliations.
- Gather reconciliation requirements from finance and operational stakeholders.
- Configure or develop matching rules, tolerances and exception logic.
- Build the integrations required to bring data into the reconciliation platform.
- Map data between trading, middle-office, banking, finance and reconciliation systems.
- Develop SQL queries, scripts or interfaces to transform and validate data.
- Build automated reconciliation processes and scheduled data feeds.
- Investigate data-quality issues, unmatched items and reconciliation breaks.
- Work with finance users to understand discrepancies and expected accounting outcomes.
- Support testing, user acceptance and production implementation.
- Build appropriate reporting, monitoring and exception-management processes.
- Document data sources, matching rules, integrations and operational procedures.
