About The Role
A technology-focused Asset Manager has thrown huge investment behind a brand new global portfolio management platform for their strategic business lines. They prioritise technology above their business teams, with coding best practises and Agile engineering-driven from senior management level downwards. This is the chance to build out a mission-critical front office platform, and for you to have a direct impact on the firm’s bottom line.
Technology-wise, most of their systems are built-in Python. They are very forward-thinking, with all of their platforms deployed through Kubernetes clusters to AWS, which is still a rarity within finance.
