Job Description

Lead Software Engineer - Prominent Financial Services Firm

Our client is a global financial services group which operates across more than 30 markets worldwide, providing a diverse range of banking, financial, advisory, and investment solutions to corporate, institutional, and retail clients. With a heritage spanning over five decades, the organization has built a reputation for specialist expertise in areas including asset management, commodities and global markets, corporate advisory, and infrastructure investment. The firm combines the capabilities of a major international financial institution with a focus on innovation and deep sector knowledge, serving clients across various industries while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices.

This position combines direct technical contributions with leadership of your engineering team. You'll guide and develop a small group of engineers through consistent one-on-one meetings, continuous feedback, and personalized career development strategies. Your leadership will ensure successful delivery by orchestrating sprint planning, prioritizing team workloads, and clearing roadblocks that impede progress on quality software releases. Working in close partnership with Product Managers and Business Analysts, you'll establish rigorous standards for code excellence and operational stability while taking full accountability for your team's performance against demanding Service Level Objectives (SLOs) covering availability, performance, and security. Drawing on your technical background, you'll architect and design robust, scalable microservices and systems tailored to financial industry standards. Beyond planning, you'll write code directly—particularly for intricate and mission-critical features—and perform comprehensive code reviews to uphold quality benchmarks. Your responsibilities extend to defining the technical vision and roadmap, making strategic decisions about system architecture and technology selection, and acting as the senior technical resource who guides the team through complex production challenges and troubleshooting scenarios.

Key Responsibilities / Requirements:

  • 7+ years experience as a full-stack developer with expertise in Python
  • Frontend development experience using React and TypeScript (candidates with Angular or JavaScript backgrounds welcomed if willing to work on UI; AI-assisted development tools available)
  • Cloud infrastructure experience with AWS as the primary platform; familiarity with Google Cloud for data warehousing solutions (BigQuery)
  • Proficiency with Airflow for workflow orchestration and automation
  • Advanced SQL and DBT competency required — data fluency is essential for all team members
  • Effective at engaging directly with business stakeholders and collaborating with Business Analysts
  • Background integrating third-party platforms including Aladdin (public markets), Sentry (private markets), and Titan
  • Asset/liability modeling experience within reinsurance contexts is advantageous
  • Financial services background preferred, particularly with capital markets systems or portfolio management tools
  • Knowledge across various asset classes is desirable though not mandatory

Qualifications:

  • Technical contributor who can simultaneously manage small engineering teams while establishing design standards, architectural patterns, and security protocols
  • Bachelor's degree
  • Exceptional communication and negotiation skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment
