THE COMPANY

Our prestigious, highly regarded customer is a market leader in investment management, with offices in 20 financial hubs across the world. As part of a new customer acquisition strategy, they're investing in a wide scale modernisation of their tech stack to support this strategy. They have a footprint of a globally distributed technology platform, deployed across both on prem data centres and within global public cloud environments.

They are based in prominent offices in Dublin 2, but there's flexibility for some remote working, with a guideline of 3 days a week in the office.

The ideal candidate would bring commercial familiarity or a strong interest in financial/capital markets, investment/asset management, private equity or the hedge fund industry, as well as experience or a strong desire to develop full stack solutions using the modern technology stack.

THE ROLE

They are looking for a strong all round engineer to join a client reporting team, with an emphasis on client and internal management reporting. This role is principally driven by a renewed focus on providing our customers with the best reporting experience possible. You will create elegant solutions in data architecture and build the presentation layer. You will work closely with client facing teams and senior business leaders.

The role will include a blend of supporting the client reporting team ( 40%) and short term client led solutions, along with longer term strategic projects ( 60%) that may include designing and building client accessible portals.

  • Expect an equal split between data and presentation layer tasks.
  • Gather data from many sources and systems, design and build a core data architecture to support new client and internal reporting initiatives, and apply data governance considerations for accurate reporting.
  • Design and build the presentation layer for dynamic and static dashboards, ultimately consumed as a dashboard or PDF document by the customer.
  • Work with business users to perform requirements analysis, application and report design, data modelling.
  • Implement high quality, client ready reports.
  • Develop core data architecture and reporting/analytics systems.
  • Ensure high focus on testing by building proper unit and regression tests.

  • 5+ years of programming experience (or equivalent).
  • Strong SQL Server, SSRS report development and/or Tableau experience (highly desirable); experience with Power BI or Python for reporting is also considered.
  • Understanding of programming design concepts, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Experience with modern development methodologies like Agile.
  • Strong troubleshooting and reasoning skills.
  • Strong cultural fit - teamwork, proactive/self starter, results oriented, and integrity.
  • Desire to learn Python and Snowflake.
SOFT SKILLS

  • An eye for design and aesthetics, for client facing output.
ADDITIONAL BENEFICIAL SKILLS / KNOWLEDGE
