Front Office Delivery & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work directly with Portfolio Managers, Traders, Quants and Risk professionals to understand business requirements and deliver solutions efficiently.
• Handle both structured development projects and fast-paced ad-hoc requests requiring independent problem solving.
• Support daily and weekly business-as-usual processes where accuracy and reliability are critical.
• Investigate issues involving pricing, market data, risk calculations and P&L analysis.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong software engineering and system design skills, with the ability to translate complex business requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Strong Python development experience, particularly in backend services, analytical applications or quantitative tooling.
