The Team
This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the largest alternative asset managers. Technology is central to Man's business strategy, and we are constantly evolving to stay ahead. Our culture embraces change and innovation, with engineering at the heart of our operating platform. We are seeking an Associate Engineer to join our Finance & People Technology team. Reporting into the Finance & People Technology Lead, you'll join the team as an associate cross‑platform engineer supporting the day‑to‑day engineering, operation, and continual improvement of the SaaS estate that underpins both the Finance and People/HR domains.
Role Responsibilities
- Configure, maintain & troubleshoot the platforms across Finance and People — Workday at the core, plus Greenhouse, CultureAmp, Kyriba, FloQast, and others.
- Own a share of the BAU & support rota across the full estate — resolving tickets, user queries, and small enhancements.
- Build, support & improve integrations between platforms — much of it orchestrated through Workato and other middleware — ensuring clean, reliable data flow.
- Monitor, triage & resolve integration errors, applying durable root‑cause fixes over workarounds.
- Use AI to engineer better and faster — applying Claude Code, agentic tooling, and Man Group's in‑house AI to automate, prototype, and troubleshoot.
- Implement best practices for scalability, supportability, maintainability, and performance.
Required
- Some professional working experience — internship, placement year, grad scheme, or 1–2 years in a tech, engineering, BA, HRIS, or finance‑systems role. This is not an entry‑level role.
- Exposure to enterprise SaaS platforms.
- Comfort working across multiple SaaS platforms at once, picking up new systems quickly.
- Aptitude for hands‑on system configuration and change‑control discipline.
- Foundational understanding of integrations (APIs, file‑based interfaces, middleware/iPaaS like Workato) and how data flows between systems.
- A track record of building simple "vibe‑coded" automations/apps.
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI as an everyday engineering tool.
- A curious, builder mindset — prototype, automate, and ask "why" before "how".
- Methodical approach to BAU support & troubleshooting — root‑cause fixes over workarounds.
- Strong written & verbal communication across technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Advantageous but not required
- Experience with Workday, Greenhouse, Workato, Kyriba, CultureAmp or FloQast.
