Working across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements and design through to build, test, deployment and support, the Advanced Engineer is expected to act with a degree of independence, while referring more complex problems to the Senior Engineering Manager or other subject matter experts. Their primary focus is on execution within defined parameters, applying modern engineering practices including CI/CD, automated testing, code quality, observability and data quality controls. They may also be accountable for regular reporting or process administration within the squad. Working in partnership with more experienced staff, their responsibilities will expand based on developing capabilities, including growing exposure to AI/ML and GenAI approaches. A key part of the role is collaborating with colleagues across Investment Technology & Distributions, Cloud Teams, and Tech departments including Enterprise Architecture to ensure designs align with enterprise standards, security and the wider Investments strategy.

• Build, test, deploy and support applications and services (e.g. Streamlit or ReactJS-based tools) across the platform's Cloud environment, contributing to ongoing Cloud migration activities.
• Apply AI-assisted development tooling (e.g. GitHub Copilot) and AI/ML techniques where they add value to accelerate coding, testing, deployment and delivery.
• Contribute to opportunities to apply AI/ML and GenAI across the platform, translating defined business requirements into practical, well-engineered technical solutions.
• Build production-ready solutions using modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, code quality, observability and data quality controls.
• Support data quality, monitoring, reporting and process administration activities to help ensure accurate and consistent outcomes.
• Identify and resolve technical problems, referring more complex issues to more experienced colleagues.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, engineers and end users, and partner with Cloud Teams, Enterprise Architecture and Security to ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and the wider Investments strategy.
• Design, develop and maintain software, data pipelines and analytical workflows that generate investment analytics and insights for end users across the Investment Technology platform.

What you will bring:

• Proven commercial software engineering experience, with practical, hands-on delivery across the software development lifecycle (requirements, design, build, test, deploy, support).
• Experience delivering software or data solutions, taking work from build through to production.
• Exposure to, or hands-on experience applying, modern engineering practices, CI/CD, automated testing, code quality, observability and data quality controls.
• Experience working with business stakeholders to understand requirements.

• Exposure to applying AI/ML techniques to business problems.
• Exposure to GenAI, LLMs, RAG or agent-based workflows.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tooling (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate delivery.
