- The role involves some front-end development & back-end integration work as part of developing proof of concepts and designs for customers, so other languages such as Typescript, GraphQL, Java and/or Python would be beneficial.
- Good knowledge of enterprise infrastructures, and both server based and cloud solution environments.
- Ideally your experience will be within the financial markets, working for either a financial institution, or technology provider, systems integrator or consultancy operating within the finance industry.
- Strong communication skills and ability to present and explain complex technical concepts to others.
- Show initiative, creative technical analysis and problem solving skills.
