• Develop and support a FIX engine to enable Straight-Through Processing (STP) with electronic execution venues.
• Build and maintain internal web tools used for data delivery, monitoring, and workflow automation (JavaScript, CSS, HTML).
• Support Advent Geneva processes including automated file uploads, reporting, and database-driven workflows.
• Work directly with traders, risk managers, and analysts to deliver robust, high-performance tools and data solutions.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of relevant software engineering experience within financial markets or similarly complex environments.
• Strong C#/Python development experience; proficiency with Excel/VBA.
• Solid SQL Server expertise (schema design, stored procedures, triggers, performance tuning).
• Some experience with modern C++ (C++11/14) and ability to contribute to quantitative analytics.
• Familiarity with web technologies (JavaScript, CSS, HTML) and back-end frameworks (Python Flask / Perl).
• Ability to write batch/shell scripts and work across diverse systems.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset suited to a small, high-impact engineering team.
