Senior Forward Deployed Engineer – Investment Technology – London
Our client is an exciting and rapidly growing investment technology company whose cloud-based platform is transforming the way some of the world's leading financial institutions manage their investment data and operations. Following continued growth, they are looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to join their highly talented team.
About the Role
This is not a traditional software engineering role. They are looking for someone with strong Investment Management and Investment Operations knowledge who genuinely understands the Investment Lifecycle and how investment data and financial products move from front to back office. A strong understanding of IBOR (Investment Book of Record) environments would be particularly valuable.
As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with clients to understand their operating models, investment workflows and data challenges before helping configure and integrate solutions around their requirements. You'll need excellent Investment Management domain knowledge, including a strong understanding of the Investment Lifecycle, Investment Operations, financial products and IBOR.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a technically light role rather than a development position. You should be comfortable working with SQL, APIs, data integrations and some Python scripting, but your knowledge of Investment Management, Investment Operations and the Investment Lifecycle is considerably more important than advanced software engineering skills. Experience working with IBOR, investment data, fixed income and other asset classes would be highly advantageous.
They are particularly interested in people from investment technology, asset management, implementation, consulting, investment data or Investment Operations backgrounds who combine strong client-facing skills with an understanding of IBOR and the wider Investment Lifecycle. You should be comfortable discussing complex Investment Management processes with senior stakeholders and using tools such as SQL and Python to help deliver solutions.
