Software Engineer – Investment & Trading Systems
A leading global hedge fund is hiring Software Engineers to build systems that directly influence how the firm invests, trades and operates.
This isn't a role maintaining one product or working through a backlog of predefined tickets.
Engineers work directly with Portfolio Managers, Trading, Risk, and Treasury to understand difficult problems, decide what should be built, and own the solution through to production.
Projects could include:
- Building transaction cost analytics to understand execution quality and reduce trading costs
- Developing systems for managing FX exposure, hedging, cash and liquidity
- Building intraday trading and risk platforms processing large volumes of real-time data
- Developing systems that turn investment and performance data into investor and fundraising materials
