Description
I am part of a leading global asset management firm that is expanding its product engineering team to support credit and portfolio platforms. Our company fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment where clear thinking, good design, and the delivery of well-tested software are highly valued. We offer hybrid working arrangements to ensure a sensible work/life balance. Joining our team means making a global impact as I help design solutions used worldwide. I will have the opportunity for personal and professional growth, particularly in cloud technologies, AI, or DevOps. I will become part of a supportive and innovative culture that values outcomes over ego. Our benefits include a competitive package, annual bonus, employer-matched pension, private health cover, life assurance, education support, and tax-free retailer vouchers. If my experience doesn't match every requirement perfectly, that’s okay; if I have a strong foundation in React and Node and care about quality, I will be a great fit. I’m ready for the next step and excited to see where this opportunity can take me.
