About the Role
Aspect Capital is an award-winning systematic hedge fund based in London that manages over $9 billion of client assets, where technology is an integral part of the business. We are looking for a senior engineer to join our Data Engineering team. The team’s role is broad, covering the ingestion, storage, transformation and distribution of tick, timeseries, reference and alternative datasets. The technology stack is similarly varied including a range of legacy and modern systems, across on-premises and cloud infrastructure.
This is an exciting time to join the team as we consolidate our technology estate, revamp how we process and filter data, and overhaul the way data is accessed by our consumers, while continuing to onboard new datasets that enhance our strategies. We are a lean team owning end-to-end delivery from initial design through to operational support in production.
