Engineering Lead | Wealth Management Technology
I'm working with a well-established financial services organisation that's going through a significant technology transformation and investing heavily in modern engineering practices, cloud technologies, and AI.
They're looking for an Engineering Lead who can combine strong hands-on technical expertise with leadership, helping to shape the future of a key financial planning technology area while supporting and developing engineering teams.
Although the team uses the iRess Xplan platform, this is not an Xplan specialist hire. Previous Xplan experience is not a requirement. Instead, they're keen to speak with engineers who have built, supported, or enhanced applications within wealth management, investment management, private banking, financial advice, or broader financial services environments.
