This is a hands-on role, for an expert engineer who will oversee the integration of a new vendor platform and evolve the product with a range of custom applications and features to suit the needs of the Traders, as well as Ops teams.

My client is building out an Algo trading business, with leaders from Quant Analytics, Infra/ Apps. and other areas already on board. This strategic position will lead on the integration of a soon to be selected vendor platform (pending RFP), plumbing in the product, modifying features and building/ managing APIs, as well as connectivity to internal platforms and teams (Quant Analytics, Risk/ Reg' Reporting etc.). Ultimately, taking the business on a software journey, delivering faster solutions, internalising trading functions and evolving the firm into a build based environment, with it's own end-to-end ETRM platform.

Whist there is budget and a plan to hire App Support etc. as things progress, this is a very hands-on role for an Engineer who loves to code, as well face off to the business, define requirements and ensure exceptional outcomes.
