Job Description:
The current system is not futureproof! It was designed 10 years
ago with approaches and techniques of the time. New services have
been bolted on in order to trade new products, alternative data
pipelines have been attached, trading volume has increased
dramatically and demand for predictive analytics and insights has
increased tenfold If you have been helicoptered into this scenario
before and successfully tackled the re-design and implementation of
a large scale Portfolio Management system, please do keep reading
and then reach out for a conversation. The company is one of Wall
Streets finest funds. Their growth has been phenomenal and their
Equity Portfolio Management system has been Frankensteined into
purpose year on year. Now, like a lot of the market, following
record years they have excess capital theyre ploughing straight
into technology with one clear goal level up the ecosystem!
Technology budget has never been an issue for this firm to recruit
the best engineering minds or provide the best tech and tools. But,
this vastly increased level of capital is providing the additional
funding needed to move past BAU thinking and bring on senior ICs
across the firm placed specifically into areas that need a special
situations mindset. I.e. lets hire a seriously impactful IC who has
solved these problems before and partner them with the incumbent
tech team to help level up the ecosystem. Simple. Now, this is not
changing the planks of the boat while its moving, but the systems
cant be turned off they manage millions of dollars of shares traded
across the globe on a daily basis so someone with an aptitude for
re-architecting existing systems into microservices and then
tackling the right issues, in the right order, is likely going to
get the backing and confidence to lead this. This is a large scale,
multi-year, big-budget project. They need a seriously impactful
engineer who can also do the hearts and mind piece with the heads
of the trading businesses. Someone who has designed and implemented
large scale portfolio management systems before and ideally knows
the trials and tribulations of how to get this done right. Youll
work as a technical lead, architect and engineer. You will not need
to manage them but will work with a team of six talented engineers.
You must love programming (ivory tower architects will not suit
this firm) perhaps youre working in a large IB and want to ditch
people management but still get paid at VP/ED/MD level. If youre at
another fund, 6-12 month NC is ok for the right person. Your Role:
Requirements gathering with Heads of Trading Businesses.
Engineering team meetings Understanding current system design and
architecture. Roadmap and project planning. Design/architect new
systems. Implementation alongside the team. Code reviews.
Experience Required / About You: Must have tackled large scale,
business-critical systems in the past, wrangling them into this
century. Must be a passionate technologist at heart whose tool of
choice is Python. Youll work with experts, so you need to know it
inside out. Youll be hands-on here. Design/architecture expertise
honed in a product focus ecosystem is a real advantage. You have a
fundamental understanding of Portfolio Management Systems ideally
with experience on systems that have a good level of scale.
