• You are a hands-on developer who loves writing clean, efficient code and solving complex problems.
• As an Associate, you are execution-focused – eager to build new features, fix issues, and optimize existing systems.
• You work well in a team, collaborating with and learning from experienced engineers.
• You’re curious and eager to learn new technologies, with a healthy disrespect for the status quo.
• You can step outside of your comfort zone and are open to feedback and mentorship; you might make mistakes, but you learn from them.
• Passionate about technology and possessing a strong sense of ownership for the work you do, you are also data-focused with a keen eye for detail when it comes to solving problems and ensuring quality.

What will you be doing?

• Building and improving features: Design, code, and implement new software features for our Private Markets reporting platform, from initial conception to deployment in production. You will work on the reporting data layer, ensuring data is captured, stored, and delivered efficiently for downstream analytics and reports.
• Maintaining systems: Support and enhance the existing ecosystem of reporting tools, including our data warehouse and ETL pipelines. This involves debugging issues, optimising performance, and ensuring robustness of the data layer.
• DevOps and quality: Take part in production monitoring, troubleshooting data or workflow issues, and resolving incidents on our cloud-based platform. You will contribute to improving our CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and other team methodologies to increase development speed and product reliability.
• Collaboration: Work closely with other development squads, platform teams, business partners, and QA to deliver high-quality software solutions. You’ll attend design sessions, code reviews, and team meetings to ensure your work aligns with project goals and quality standards. As an active member of the Alternatives Engineering team, you will collaborate with talented, forward-thinking colleagues who share a passion for innovation in finance technology.

You Have

• Education: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field.

• Strong SQL skills: Proficiency with MS SQL Server – able to write and optimise queries, and an understanding of database design or data modelling concepts. Experience creating or maintaining stored procedures and addressing performance considerations in databases is a plus.
• Familiarity with data pipelines: Exposure to Snowflake or other data warehouse technologies, and knowledge of data pipeline concepts (ETL processes, batch vs. streaming data) would be beneficial.
• Experience with C# and .NET: Hands-on programming experience in C# and the .NET ecosystem (including .NET Framework or .NET Core).
