Your Impact

Asset Wealth Management Private is a multi-asset principal investing desk participating in both the public and private markets including investments in equities, credit, corporate loans, real estate and non-performing mortgage loan portfolios. There is huge focus in growing the business, including providing access to our successful investment strategies to external clients.

For AWM Private, technology is transforming all stages of our deal lifecycle. We need engineers to build cutting edge platforms to help drive opportunity discovery, pricing, execution, deal management and STP risk representation, to name a few. Automation and efficiency tooling are no longer luxuries, they are essential to stay competitive in the markets we operate in. The team uses a mix of both open source industry standard (Java, Spring, JavaScript, React, Kubernetes, MongoDB, etc), and internal proprietary (SecDB/Slang) technologies for product deliveries to our users.

Our unique seat means we are exposed to complex financial products and a diverse range of deals. Given the exotic nature of the businesses, we solve new problems not only for our own business unit, but sometimes for the whole firm.

We are looking for an software engineer. You will be working closely with the global engineering team as well as the investment analysts, execution teams, trading, quantitative and operations functions to build platforms that will provide the business with an edge over competitors and enable the business to scale to its full potential. Your time will be split between developing and driving long-term engineering vision for the business, executing on that strategy by building well-designed and tested software, and provide day-to-day deal support to ensure our risk is appropriately captured in our systems.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, producing highly impactful engineering solutions, collaborating with other smart and driven colleagues, then this is the role for you.

How will you fulfill your potential?
• Demonstrate effective stakeholder management whilst prioritizing competing requirements or projects
• Identify opportunity for engineering solutions to advance the businesses
• Deliver commercially impactful and well-designed technology products
• Ownership across the whole delivery lifecycle including requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing and deployment
• Ensure business continuity and improve production stability

Basic Qualifications
• Bachelor degree in a technical (computer science, mathematics, science, engineering) discipline
• 3+ years experience of commercial software development
• Full stack developer experience with Java backend / Javascript frontend, but open to experience with other languages.
• Proven production-quality system development in Java and/or frontend web development in JavaScript & React
• Pro-active, sense of ownership and responsibility
• Strong communication skills

Preferred Qualifications
• Knowledge of machine learning disciplines would be a plus
• Knowledge of financial products (preferably in fixed income/credit)
